This scathing indictment shatters the myth of Swiss neutrality during World War II, showing that Switzerland's leading financial institutions provided Hitler with the foreign exchange essential to his war effort, laundering gold looted from the banks of occupied Europe and from the bodies of concentration camp victims.

Jean Ziegler met en cause l'attitude des autorités de la Confédération helvétique durant la dernière Guerre mondiale et, surtout, les relations ambiguës qu'elles ont entretenues avec le régime nazi. Les banquiers suisses, en effet, ont apporté à Hitler une aide financière importante et ont accepté de " blanchir " de l'or volé par les nazis aux familles juives envoyées dans les camps de la mort, tandis que le gouvernement refoulait à ses frontières des dizaines de milliers de réfugiés juifs. Ce scandale politico-financier a éclaté à la fin de l'été 1996 grâce aux révélations de la presse allemande et à l'ouverture des archives communistes et américaines. A partir de ces documents accablants, Jean Ziegler a construit un livre explosif. [4e de couverture]

Few know that world hunger was very nearly eradicated in our lifetimes. In the past five years, however, widespread starvation has suddenly reappeared, and chronic hunger is a major issue on every continent. In an extensive investigation of this disturbing shift, Jean Ziegler—one of the world’s leading food experts—lays out in clear and accessible terms the complex global causes of the new hunger crisis. Ziegler’s wide-ranging and fascinating examination focuses on how the new sustainable revolution in energy production has diverted millions of acres of corn, soy, wheat, and other grain crops from food to fuel. The results, he shows, have been sudden and startling, with declining food reserves sending prices to record highs and a new global commodities market in ethanol and other biofuels gobbling up arable lands in nearly every continent on earth. Like Raj Patel’s pathbreaking Stuffed and Starved, Betting on Famine will enlighten the millions of Americans concerned about the politics of food at home—and about the forces that prevent us from feeding the world’s children.

Vor allem amerikanische Geheimdienstberichte offenbaren die Komplizenschaft der Schweizer Geldinstitute mit den Nazis und berichten von den Guthaben der Holocaust-Opfer in Schweizer Bankkellern. Der Autor trägt mit seinem Aufsehen erregenden Bericht zur Entzauberung der angeblich so korrekten und Neutralen Eidgenossen bei.

In 1945, US intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. These, combined with Japanese treasure recovered during the US occupation, and with recovered Nazi loot, would create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. This 'Black Gold' gave Washington virtually limitless, unaccountable funds, providing an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries for more than fifty years.

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. FDF 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.
