Description
Two weeks after the start of World War II, at a meeting that remained a secret for more than fifty years, Hitler's top spies and the managers of Nazi Germany's finances approved a bold plot to destroy England: They would counterfeit pound notes-millions and millions of them-scatter them over England, and destabilize the British economy.
The SS put a meticulous engineering officer named Bernhard Krueger in charge of the secret plot. Krueger recruited experts from an unexpected place-Nazi con- centration camps-saved prewar Europe's master forger from the gas chamber, and became the kingpin of history's greatest counterfeiting ring.
Part Schindler's List, part The Great Escape, this gripping account of these dramatic events is a fascinating portrait of deception, courage, and moral awakening
