In "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler," Antony Cyril Sutton unveils the unsettling alliance between American capitalism and the ascension of Nazi Germany, challenging the narrative of World War II with rigorous documentation and eye-opening revelations. Sutton meticulously traces how a sector of American business not only recognized the malignant nature of Nazism but also, driven by profit, supported its rise with a level of assistance that was nothing short of phenomenal. This controversial exploration sheds light on the complicity of Wall Street banks and corporate giants like General Electric, Ford Motor Company, and Standard Oil in fostering a regime that would lead the world into an unparalleled conflict. Through a careful examination of original documents and firsthand accounts, Sutton exposes a clandestine history of financial and industrial collaboration that fueled Hitler's war machine, while proving immensely profitable for a select group of American financial insiders. The book dissects the intricate web of connections and financial transactions that facilitated the growth of Nazi Germany, implicating household names in American industry and finance in the preparation of a war that would devastate millions. "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler" is a seminal work that not only questions the moral integrity of American capitalism but also offers a profound analysis of the economic dynamics that contributed to one of the darkest chapters in human history.
