Good morning all,

Scheduled for 2013 publication, there's a book titled:

"Hitler's Shadow Empire: Nazi Economics and the Spanish Civil War" by Pierpaolo Barbieri.

I know little to zero on the subject matter and the author but believe it is worth checking this book when published in 2013 since the book deals with a narrow field.

I learned of this book via an article by Barbieri in the Thursday, 9 Aug 12 Wall Street Journal titled "A Lesson in Crony Capitalism". At end of his article was the editorial comment:

"Mr Barbieri is a fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School. His book, Hitler's...," will be published by Harvard University Press in 2013."

Of course, there is enough time to arrange for interested forum participants to get book via AHF's Bookstore Program.


Warm regards,

Bob

Well worth a few pence in a second hand bookshop

A rather interesting Wall Street Journal review from 1987 is reproduced here:

This article which was posted recently in another section of the forum might lead to some interesting sources besides being of some value by itself.
