Now, James Pool discloses the shocking and often bizarre financial strategies and relationships that enabled Hitler to consolidate his power and perpetuate his reign of terror. A vivid, page~turning account, HITLER AND HIS SECRET PARTNERS may also be one of our era's most important works of history. Here, for the first time, is the full story of the financial calculation, exploitation, and greed at the core of the Third Reich, and of an amassed legacy that continues to make headlines with the recent emergence of Nazi accounts in Swiss banks. Discover the explosive truth about the men and women who provided Hitler with money and moral support~and what they received in return. Included are these startling revelations: Many of Germany's top industrialists and financiers who secretly funded Hitler's regime were rewarded with multibillion~dollar returns on their investments. After each invasion, they met to divvy up the spoils of Hitler's war: seized factories, machinery, and raw materials. Sympathetic foreign bankers, journalists, and politicians gave Hitler vital support, even to the point of betraying their own countries. But no two foreign figures were more important than the future King Edward VIII of England, and his companion, Wallis Simpson, who may have been a Nazi collaborator. Joseph Kennedy, American ambassador to England and father of a future president, gave tacit approval to Hitler's "Jewish policy"~a chilling stand aggravated by American anti~Semites, such as Charles Lindbergh. Evidence suggests that one of the motives for the Holocaust was profit. Jewish businesses were seized, property confiscated, and valuable art collections plundered. The concentration camps themselves, where millions died, were designed to serve as sources of slave labor for German industry. Portrayed by the Nazi propaganda machine as a man of simple tastes, Adolf Hitler actually led a life of luxury, extravagance and corruption, sparing no expense in the indulgence of his every whim~from the architectural to the sexual. HITLER AND HIS SECRET PARTNERS reveals that the greatest tragedy of the twentieth century was driven in large part by economics~by the desire to hoard wealth as well as power. Those who reaped the rewards~whether peasant, prince or politician~share equally in the criminal consequences of Nazism. Meticulously researched and thoroughly documented, this remarkable and monumental volume is sure to provoke controversy and have a substantial impact for decades to come.

UFO. true crime. covert operations. conspiracy theory. ~ In his bestselling book Intruders, Budd Hopkins, the internationally respected authority in the field of UFO research, focused worldwide attention on a series of thoroughly documented and disturbing alien encounters. Though Intruders greatly expanded our knowledge of the UFO abduction phenomenon, Hopkins subsequently learned of an extraordinary witnessed abduction, something unprecedented in the history of UFO research. This amazingly complex case is revealed here in its entirety for the first time. In New York City, on November 30, 1989, at approximately 3:00 a.m., several witnesses, including a major world political leader, saw~and later independently corroborated~this shocking event. Accompanied by three small alien figures, Linda Cortile, a married mother of two, was seen emerging from an apartment building window twelve stories above the ground. Suspended within a blue beam of light, Linda and her captors were lifted into a large reddish~orange glowing UFO, which then moved off in the direction of the Brooklyn Bridge. The presence of numerous and influential eyewitnesses to this abduction shatters all previous patterns of UFO encounters. But when Linda Carlile first reported her abduction, Hopkins conducted a thorough investigation, including a hypnosis session, and concluded that there was nothing unique about the incident among the hundreds he has studied. That assessment changed dramatically when Hopkins later received a letter in which two men, identified as New York City police officers, described sitting helplessly in a car under the FDR Drive and watching three" creatures" escort a woman into a reddish~orange glowing oval hovering in the sky. Hopkins sensed he was now on the verge of a major breakthrough in providing evidence of the reality of UFO abductions. But the men's true identities remained a mystery. Unwilling to meet with Hopkins, they continued to contact him through letters and an audiocassette recording. The startling connections eventually revealed between Linda and one of these men are perhaps the most remarkable aspects of this case. In the following months, three more witnesses came forward. Two gave vivid descriptions of a bright red object in the sky, seen near the Brooklyn Bridge~but from two different locations in the city. The third witness told in dramatic detail the events that occurred as she saw the UFO and the floating figures from the bridge itself. Her haunting drawings, which independently corroborate descriptions related by other participants, plus Linda's memories, retrieved under hypnosis, appear for the first time in WITNESSED. While certain facts reported here suggest that the aliens' motives may be altruistic, others point toward a systematic program of genetic study and experimentation on human beings. Whatever the aliens' motives, the details of this case~from an inexplicable metallic object implanted in Linda's body to the independent witnesses and their verified accounts of the abduction ~ challenge all preconceptions about UFOs and alien abductions. The evidence in WITNESSED is too credible, too comprehensive, and too powerful for any individual~or government~to ignore.
