The book that ruined the "swiss banks"

We've all seen hundreds of books and films about world war 2, but here's one that takes you inside. This historical fiction provides the readed with an unfamiliar look at the war. The origins of the CIA and KGB, along with German intelligence are all depicted in this well documented novel

An account of the Swiss's "neutrality" during the WW II.

Erdman's does a very good job of explaining the Swiss government role in building Germany's war machine in a fact based novel. Fictional characters make this factual story easy and enjoyable to read. Footnotes are scattered throughout the book to make one realize that the Swiss government's idea of "neutrality" must be that they will trade with anyone to make a quick buck.
