Description: Cashing Out by Neill Lochery When Nazis looked to flee Europe with stolen art, gems, and gold in tow, certain "neutral" countries were all too willing to assist them. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description By the end of January 1945, it was clear to Germany that the war was lost. The Third Reich was in freefall, and its leaders, apart from those clustered around Hitler in his Berlin bunker, sought to abscond before they were besieged. But they wanted to take their wealth with them. Their escape routes were diverse: Sweden and Switzerland boasted proximity, banking, and industrial closeness, while Spain and Portugal offered an inviting Atlantic coastline and shipping routes to South America. And in various ways, each of these so-called neutral nations welcomed the Nazi escapees, along with the clandestine wealth they carried. Cashing Out tells the riveting history of the race to intercept the stolen assets before they disappeared, and before the will to punish Germany was replaced by the political considerations of the fast-approaching Cold War. Bestselling author Neill Lochery here brilliantly recounts the flight of the Nazi-looted riches-the last great escape of World War II-and the Allied quest for justice. Author Biography Neill Lochery is a world-renowned source on the politics and modern history of Europe and the Mediterranean Middle East. He has authored a series of critically acclaimed books, including the international bestseller Lisbon: War in the Shadows of the City of Light, 1939-1945 and most recently Brazil: The Fortunes of War, World War II and the Making of Modern Brazil. He divides his time between London, Portugal and the United States. Review "The record laid out here is damning... Perhaps the most striking--and dispiriting--lesson of Cashing Out is that the wartime decisions countries make are almost always self-interested, no matter how great the moral issues at stake." --Wall Street Journal"A singularly excellent tale, nuanced and rich, original and eloquently told, and of deep relevance for our times."--Philippe Sands, author of The Last Colony"A searing indictment... [Lochery] serves up an indignant blend of globe-spanning true crime, financial skullduggery, geopolitical and diplomatic history, and cloak-and-dagger intrigue."--Publishers Weekly Details ISBN1541702301 Author Neill Lochery Short Title Cashing Out Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1541702301 ISBN-13 9781541702301 Format Hardcover Country of Publication United States UK Release Date 2023-11-07 Publisher PublicAffairs,U.S. Publication Date 2023-11-16 Imprint PublicAffairs,U.S. Subtitle The Flight of Nazi Treasure, 1945–1948 DEWEY 940.5318 Audience General US Release Date 2023-11-16 Pages 336 NZ Release Date 2024-04-08 AU Release Date 2024-04-08 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
