Editorial Reviews

A STARTLING READ. U.S. corporate involvement in the horrors of Nazi Germany is a story untold far too long. Black's detailed research into the U.S. companies who contributed materially and philosophically to the rise of Nazi Germany makes Nazi Nexus a startling read, even for those who thought themselves familiar with the history of the era.

Daily Kos - Neal Rauhauser

CHILLING. CONNECTS THE DOTS. Edwin Black connects the dots masterfully in Nazi Nexus to remind us that Hitler's horrors were as deeply rooted in American board rooms as they were in German war rooms. It's impossible to observe current world events without seeing Nazi Nexus as a chilling cautionary tale.

author The American Axis: Ford, Lindbergh and the Rise of the Third Reich - Max Wallace

EDWIN BLACK IS A DANGEROUS MAN. Edwin Black is a dangerous man. He tells us things we don't want to hear, like: "The scientific rationales that drove killer doctors at Auschwitz were first concocted on Long Island." His groundbreaking work, War Against the Weak is scary and necessary.

Esquire Magazine - Adrienne Miller

DRAMATIC AND LUCID. Lucid, dramatic and thought-provoking discoveries. It is a story that should be read by everyone concerned about the strange realities of our modern world. An indispensable contribution.

author A History of the Twentieth Century, Churchill: A Life and First World War - Martin Gilbert

SIMPLE AND STUNNING. Backed by exhaustive research, Black's case in IBM and the Holocaust is simple and stunning: that IBM facilitated the identification and roundup of millions of Jews during the 12 years of the Third Reich. ... Black's evidence may be the most damning to appear yet against a purported corporate accomplice.
