A very well-researched, well-written insight into how a for-profit organization contributed to the Nazi war machine in WWII. It makes you think once again about the nature of corporation. Can ethics and morality coexist with making profit? I certainly hope so.

Having been closely associated with all three German chemical companies, BASF, BAYER, and HERSCHST [sp],well after WWII, in the plastics industry, I was fascinated by the research done by the author.
What might be considered dry chemical engineering, has been made into a real page turner.
While the cover, and promotion for the book highlights the trials at Nurenberg, the real story is the genius of the German chemists, and their eventual downfall.

Book was recommended by Book Review in Business Week. Found it to be very accurate. I like proven detail and this book has it. Subject is one that I have read extensively.

This book should be read by anyone with an interest in WWI and WWII.
It outlines the facts on how Hitler was able to murder thousands of people in concentration camps using the gas that IG Farben created. But that's just a small part of the Cartel's power during the 1st and 2nd World Wars.
The research done to bring this book to publication is incredible.
