Review
'An unputdownable narrative and forensically gripping investigation' Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Young Stalin 'Behind the guns is always the money. Diarmud Jeffreys' perfectly detailed vivisection of the I. G. Farben companies during the Nazi era is both sensible and powerful - thus a pleasure to read - and exceptionally compelling' Alan Furst At last, a fresh and vibrant history - free from the taint of perpetrator sponsorship and corporate influence - that brilliantly chronicles the war monster I.G. Farben. Jeffreys's work will be consulted as a must for years to come' Edwin Black, author of Nazi Nexus: America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust
Product Description
In 1925, six of Germany's leading chemical companies banded together in a cartel to protect their business from increasing international competition. Twenty years later the directors found themselves on trial at Nuremberg, accused of being 'the magicians who made the fantasies of Mein Kampf come true.' How had one of the world's leading companies, whose knowledge and expertise were the envy of the world, become Hitler's creature, directly involved in the Holocaust with their experimental I. G. Monowitz plant at Auschwitz? In this brilliantly researched and compelling book, Diarmuid Jeffreys shines a bright light on I. G Farben's Faustian pact with the Third Reich to reveal in shocking detail the story of the original military-industrial complex.

If you want to understand how a company can get sucked in to the most awful event of the 20th Century - read this book. A detailed analysis of the company and the people, its innovations and its effect on 2nd WW.

Perhaps a book for the completist rather than a casual reader to the subject on how Hitler's war machine was developed, managed and delivered against the world. I found some of the chapters rather stodgy and overly complex. Overall an uneven but well written book and will be an effective reference book in the future. Definitely not for the casual reader.

Format:Paperback
A good book with plenty of detail to keep the informed satisfied. It loses its way a little towrds the end and has a few hard sections. Allround though a good insight into what was behind the german war machine and how it worked- there are too few books on this subject.
