I found Professor Sutton's work to be superbly referenced, and a thoroughly enjoyable book to read. This is truly a book for any serious students/readers on International Finance / World War I & II / and anyone with the slightest interest on what role did key Wall Street banks (Chase Manhattan, J.P Morgan) and other American businesses (Ford, AT&T, etc) support Hitler's rise to power by financing and trading with Nazi Germany.
Having read the 1star review on this book, I felt compelled to defend Professor Sutton's work and to perhaps suggest to the previous reviewer `I White' that they would do very well to read any of the following books by "REAL" historians.
In response to reviewer `I White's' comment that Professor Sutton's work smacked of `Conspiracy rules ok', I would wager next months mortgage payment that `I White' would find it difficult to dismiss the following essential reading list as a collection of conspiracy writers.
All of the following authors and books point, support, and provide evidence to the very same conclusions that Professor Sutton reaches in his book ..........Let the light shine in dark places!!!!!
