Preview The Transfer Agreement
What reviewers have said about The Transfer Agreement Black has authored an exhaustive, compelling, well-written and edited work. It is historical journalism at its best. Alexander Zvielli, Jerusalem Post Black has meticulously documented this obscure but important slice of world history, and makes an essential contribution to an understanding of Israeli politics and the strife in the Middle East today. Gladwyn Hill , Los Angeles Times Black reconstructs in depressing detail the strident debates and acrimonious struggles…while pursuing the increasingly unrealistic goal of bringing the third Reich to its knees. A.J. Sherman , The New York Times A struggle to write a painful chapter in Jewish history. What Black began uncovering was a tangled account of an anguished moment in history, one that he at the center had to piece together from…forgotten archives, newspapers from the pre-WWII era and government records. Jan Cawley , Chicago Tribune Magazine Edwin Black applied his established investigative journalism techniques to history. The result is an extraordinary book, The Transfer Agreement . Bill Kurtis , CBS Morning News Meticulously researched…Black took five years to research and write this incredible volume…Black poses the controversial question: ‘Was it madness or was it genius?’ The many fascinated readers will have to decide for themselves. Booklist Black brings an incredible amount of material together. With uncanny skill, he keeps it all under control. Five stars. The Cincinnati Enquirer A passionate book… An incredible job. Chicago Sun-Times Outlines brilliantly the historic roots of German anti-Semitism. The Denver Post Five years of exhaustive research…the undertaking was immense. Dallas Times Herald An exhaustively documented and compelling book. Alan Borsuk , Milwaukee Journal A well-documented, highly charged book that is likely to stir controversy. The Baltimore Sun Riveting. Chicago Tribune Book World Black in The Transfer Agreement seriously challenged orthodox views of history. Whereas many might see the Second World War as a struggle between good and evil, a history that is completely written and understood, Black paints a very different and more nuanced picture. His works suggest that Hitler’s Germany was not only appeased by the West, but benefited financially and even ideologically from the United States, Europe and, as we have seen, the Jewish community in Palestine, even as the war was being fought. Atticus Mullikin, European Journalism Centre Magazine On one level, this book is an exciting spy story. On another, it is a heartbreaking account of anguished and bewildered human beings caught in a nightmare situation. Present Tense As a work of historical journalism, this book is exhaustive and compelling. Ben Halpern, Moment Edwin Black has succeeded beyond my hopes and expectations of doing justice to the Jewish protagonists of this dreadful and depressing history. He has not shirked his painful task but accomplished it in a compelling, enlightened and sympathetic way. Robert Wolfe, National Archives Truly a brilliant piece of work. It has captured the passion, ferocity, exultation and yes, naiveté of that moment in history… an artistic tour de force . Morris Frommer, author, The American Jewish Congress, a History Excellent and revealing. Fills the vacuum in the history of both the German economy and of the Zionist movement. This book is informative, exciting, as well as challenging and morally disturbing. Arthur Schweitzer, author, Big Business and the Third Reich It reads like a good spy book, something out of John Le Carre.
