Recommended Reading

I purchased this book over 20 years ago after hearing about it on Paul Harvey. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in WWII. It is an eye-opener and reveals many things not regularly taught about the war, including how American companies were directly involved. Not for the weak.

Capitalistic Exploitation of the Holocaust

I read this book about 6 years ago when I was still in college. I bought it for a quarter at a fund raising book sale the english dept had put together. Always interested in history, particularly WWII, I found I couldn't put this book down. Written in a style which can be enjoyed by academics and casual readers both, the book gives insight into the little known capitalistic aspects of the holocaust. I, for one, was well read on WWII but knew nothing of the gross injustices of the private sector in regards to the Holocaust. Especially, surprising was learning that some concertration camps were built and run not by Nazis but by a privately owned corporation.Truly an intense and eye-opening read.
