Fifty years after World War II; a small group of Americans launched a campaign to confront the world with the fact that many assets looted by the Nazis had never been returned to their owners. Backed by class-action lawsuits and threats of economic sanctions; they mounted a vigorous challenge against some of the world's largest corporations and governments to demand billions of dollars. But what began as a moral crusade soon became a bare-knuckle battle that opened up painful debates about whether money can ever compensate for the horrors of the Holocaust. John Authers and Richard Wolffe offer a spellbinding investigative account of this momentous international struggle. The Victim's Fortune captures the personalities; ruthless tactics; and moral dilemmas surrounding the fight over compensation -- all unfolding against the backdrop of one of the darkest moments in human history.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Focus on the means and not the endsBy Michael ZuckerThis book does more than explore conservative politics. It takes you on an adventure through philosophy and uncovers the mindset of the fundamentalists who are strangling the Republican Party. Sullivan takes an original; clever look at the leadership style of former President Bush; and shows why conservatism is a unique ideology.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. DefinitiveBy AnonymousBelievable beyond words. Sullivan is not running for any elective office; which makes his work refreshingly rare. You will not regret the time spent digesting this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Michael HerrleEverything that was advertised
