Reseña del libro "The Victim's Fortune: Inside the Epic Battle Over the Debts of the Holocaust (en Inglés)"

"Imagine a book with the narrative force and the behind-the-scenes revelations of Barbarians at the Gate. Now imagine that what's at stake isn't just which rich investment banker gets richer, but rather is one of the great moral issues of our time, restitution for Holocaust survivors. Imagine no more, because John Authers and Richard Wolffe have written just such a book in The Victim's Fortune."-- Samuel G. Freedman, author of Jew vs. JewA riveting account of what went wrong in the battle over compensation for Holocaust survivorsFifty 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.
