Editorial Reviews
Review
A saga of intrigue and greed, of lust for power and possession of power and, above all, a story of dangerous men. The author relates it with solid scholarship and narrative excellence.-- "World War II History"
A well-told story of a family whose fate has been closely linked to that of Germany for the past 100 years.-- "Library Journal"
Peter Batty has written a hard-hitting expose of the firm that has played a key role in Europe's military and political history. He gives an astounding account of the centuries-old organization which... has survived depression, military defeats and foreign occupations. His book is must reading for those who want to understand world affairs from the inside.-- "The Saturday Review"
