Reviews
Eye-opening. Chasing Gold almost reads like a thriller at times, packed with true stories of greed, murder, political intrigue, and corrupt money laundering that persisted well past the war's end. Highly recommended., Taber reveals one of WWII's darkest secrets in this compulsively readable, real-life thriller of how the Nazis funded their war machine. Meticulous research. Those with an interest in war crimes will relish Taber's masterful reportage and the unearthing of these wartime treasures., A meticulously researched and tensely dramatic account of the movements of gold just before and during the conflict -- a story full of ruthless plunder, desperate maneuvers and narrow escapes., If a crazed ideology motivated the Nazis in their drive for European hegemony, gold was the instrument that Hitler needed to make his dreams a reality. Independent scholar Taber (In Search of Bacchus) provides a detailed account of the German economists--some committed Nazis, and others merely technocrats--who helped Hitler obtain the reserves he needed. Relates the account of World War II from the perspective of gold, something that will attract a variety of readers., "In "All the President's Men," Deep throat tells Woodward and Bernstein to "follow the money." George Taber took his advice and, in Chasing Gold, he leads us on a journey never undertaken before to uncover how the Nazi Wehmacht financed the death and destruction they wrecked upon the world for six terror filled years. Chasing Gold should be required reading for anyone interested in the history of World War Two.", "In All the President's Men, Deep Throat tells Woodward and Bernstein to "follow the money." George Taber took his advice and, in Chasing Gold, he leads us on a journey never undertaken before to uncover how the Nazi Wehmacht financed the death and destruction they wrecked upon the world for six terror filled years. Chasing Gold should be required reading for anyone interested in the history of World War Two.", Rarely can a story about central bankers, bullion holdings and maritime shipping be described as thrilling. Nazis, of course, tend to liven things up. But outrunning the Nazis was only the first obstacle. Chasing Gold glitters with an engaging narrative.

Synopsis
For the entire history of human civilization, gold has enraptured people around the globe. The Nazis was no less enthralled by it, and felt that gold was the solution to funding Hitler's war machine. Gold was also on the mind of FDR across the Atlantic, as he worked with Europe's other leaders to bring the United States and the rest of the world out of a severe depression. FDR was hardly the first head of state to turn to gold in difficult times. Throughout history, it has been the refuge of both nations and people in trouble, working at times when nothing else does. Desperate people can buy a loaf of bread or bribe a border guard. Gold can get desperate nations oil to keep tanks running or munitions to fight a war. If the price is right, there is always someone somewhere willing to buy or sell gold. And it was to become the Nazi's most important medium of exchange during the war. Chasing Gold is the story of how the Nazis attempted to grab Europe's gold to finance history's bloodiest war. It is filled with high drama and close escapes, laying bare the palate of human emotions. Walking through the tale are giants of world history, as well as ordinary people called upon to undertake heroic action in an extraordinary time., For the entire history of human civilization, gold has enraptured people around the globe.
