I suppose I should haul myself down to the Library of Congress and see if they have Richard Sasuly's book about IG Farben. My problem is, even if I actually read it, I still wouldn't know whether it was historically accurate. If it has footnotes, and the footnotes are verifiable, that would make me more inclined to accept it. I do read German, but not very well. The source that Nihil linked makes the book sound, well, sensational. On the other hand, the events in Germany during the time period in question were nothing less than sensational. In fact, sensational isn't a strong enough word. I have always wanted to understand what makes people able to do what the Nazis did. Here is a link to a movie based on the same material: jer.cine.org.il The use of the power of a nation to commit great evil is the topic of a recent book about Leopold of Belgium and the Belgian Congo, "King Leopold's Ghost". Reading how the natives of the Congo were treated would make a stone weep.
