دانلود کتاب The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben

The Crime and Pun­ish­ment of I.G. Far­ben charts the stel­lar rise of Germany’s chem­i­cal and dyestuff indus­tries, as well as those of the Ruhr and Rhineland’s min­ing and steel, both spawned as global eco­nomic pow­er­houses by pre­ex­ist­ing inter­na­tional trade restric­tions and the Ger­man hord­ing of patent rights. Cov­ers also the Reich’s 1918 mil­i­tary defeat; the High Command’s long-term vision; the flow­er­ing and with­er­ing of Carl Bosch’s sci­en­tific and man­u­fac­tur­ing genius; the con­sol­i­da­tion of the bank­ing, heavy and chem­i­cal indus­tries (not to men­tion Ger­man soci­ety) com­ing to fruition under Hitler and Nazi policy.Also included are astound­ing descrip­tions of the slave labor and mass mur­der in Auschwitz and else­where, the admin­is­tra­tion of which was shared by I.G. Farben’s top man­age­ment and Himmler’s S.S.Hav­ing become famil­iar with the spe­cial rela­tion­ship between I.G. Far­ben and Stan­dard Oil of Jer­sey as inves­ti­ga­tor for a Sen­ate Spe­cial Com­mit­tee, author Joseph Borkin later headed the Patent and Car­tel Sec­tion of the Jus­tice Department’s Antitrust Divi­sion, co-authoring Germany’s Mas­ter Plan in 1943. “After the war, when I read the tran­script of the trial of the I.G. war crim­i­nals at Nurem­berg, I knew that some­day I would write the present book.”
