Product Description

Synopsis
Responsible for an international firestorm of controversy, this bestseller examines the revelations of how Switzerland bankrolled Nazi Germany's war effort, and then refused to address the Holocaust survivors claims for reparations. Translated by John Brownjohn

3.0 out of 5 stars Very insightful, 13 May 2003
By A Customer
Whether all the facts in this book are entirely true, well, that remains to be seen.

Aside from that, this book contains a plethora of information about Swiss involvement in Germany's gold affairs. Not nearly as vague as the other books I've read which discuss the topic from the author's subjective point of view (to make up for lack of information). Furthermore, the author touches on the topics we want to read about. . . the kind of information that would be embarassing to many "official departments," and not subjects one can normally pull up on the internet. Believe me, this author has done her homework. And, it's interesting reading, too. It discusses a lot of topics while at the same time-keeping the reader awake.

1.0 out of 5 stars A profit-oriented falsifier of historical facts!, 23 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Although factually terribly muddled when looked at seriously, Jean Ziegler's written critical analysis of Switzerland during the Second World War is achieving high sales figures throughout Europe. Now Felix Auer, a former member of the National Council, untangles the disparaging claims and reveals the untrustworthy working method of the Geneva sociologist. Without putting a gloss on the errors committed by Switzerland and the Swiss, Auer restores the proper balance and exposes Ziegler as a profit-oriented falsifier of historical facts.

5.0 out of 5 stars L'Empire de la Honte : Jean Ziegler, 7 Jun 2008
By Jacqueline Shaw "Jacqui" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fascinating book I couldn't put down. If you want to understand world hunger and the multinationals' power games, this is a great place to start. It gives a clear explanation of why the world works the way it does and why millions die of hunger and hunger related disease every year despite the quantities of food we waste. Millions die for the multinationals (from the pharmaceutical industry to 'good old' Nestlé) to make their huge profits. It gives an insight into the mindset of those who rule the world. There seems to be no English translation which is a shame. There is also a French translation of a version he uses to explain it to the kids which I am going to read before potentially giving it to my son.
