The Transfer Agreement Edwin Black
Subtitled The Untold Story of the Secret Pact Between the Third Reich and Jewish Palestine.
A fascinating recount of the first year of Hitler's rule, the Nazi persecution of the Jews and the worldwide backlash - a boycott of German exports - that pushed Germany to the brink of anarchy. This books was exciting and full of new information about the intrigue of Zionists looking to help Jews emigrate to Palestine, how they weakened the boycott movement, attempting to salvage Jewish German assets, their secret deal with Hitler to sell German exports, and the key roll they played in allowing Hitler to consolidate his power.
Those were very trying times and Black gives a very meticulous coverage, well-researched and objective. Anyone looking to understand Israel, and how it is seen as so important a solution to the horrible pogroms inflicted on Jews throughout history, should not miss out on this fascinating book.
