Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht was a genius, an eccentric, and an enigma. Single-handedly halting Germany's runaway inflation and freeing the country from the crippling reparation debts imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, he gained worldwide fame as the economic guru of Nazi Germany. Yet while he financed Hitler's military regime, he held most Nazis in contempt and frequently clashed with its hierarchy -- and Hitler himself -- over anti-Jewish laws and war spending. Before the war was over, Schacht had been imprisoned in Dachau; later, he was one of only three defendants to be acquitted at the Nuremberg trials. John Weitz's riveting biography illuminates this complex figure -- a skilled manipulator of money, men and governments -- and the chilling, brutal, and grimly fascinating history of 20th-century Germany.
