Hell's Cartel

IG Farben and the Making of Hitler's War Machine
How one of German's leading conglomerates, with one eye on political stability and the other on the main chance, sealed Europe's fate for a generation.
_____________'An unputdownable narrative and forensically gripping investigation' - Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Young Stalin‘Behind the guns is always the money. Diarmuid Jeffreys' perfectly detailed vivisection of the I. G. Farben companies during the Nazi era is both sensible and powerful - thus a pleasure to read - and exceptionally compelling' - Alan Furst_____________In 1925, six of Germany's leading chemical companies banded together in a cartel to protect their business from increasing international competition. Twenty years later the directors found themselves on trial at Nuremberg, accused of being ‘the magicians who made the fantasies of Mein Kampf come true.' How had one of the world's leading companies, whose knowledge and expertise were the envy of the world, become Hitler's creature, directly involved in the Holocaust with their experimental I. G. Monowitz plant at Auschwitz? In this brilliantly researched and compelling book, Diarmuid Jeffreys shines a bright light on I. G Farben's Faustian pact with the Third Reich to reveal in shocking detail the story of the original military-industrial complex._____________'At last, a fresh and vibrant history - free from the taint of perpetrator sponsorship and corporate influence - that brilliantly chronicles the war monster I.G. Farben. Jeffreys's work will be consulted as a must for years to come' - Edwin Black, author of Nazi Nexus: America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust
