The dark history behind such well-known companies as aspirin maker Bayer, imaging supplier Agfa and plastics giant BASF.
Avantis Award nominated writer
San Francisco Chronicle Book Author of the Year
In 1925, in order to cope with the increasingly fierce international competition and protect their own commercial interests, six of the largest chemical companies in Germany jointly established the dye industry interests group, that is, IG Faben Company, which became one of the most powerful enterprises in the world at that time. Twenty years later, the top managers of this giant corporation were brought before the Nuremberg war crimes Tribunal, because they had helped to make the unrealistic dreams of Hitler in Mein KamPF come true. How did this military-industrial complex, which possessed the most advanced science and technology in the world at the time, become a man-eating giant in Hitler's hands, directly involved in the Holocaust and committing all kinds of bloody crimes?
In Deadly Cartel, Dilmeade Jeffries shows for the first time IG Farben from its founding in the 19th century through the turmoil of World War I and the decisive role the company played in World War II. Drawing on extensive research and original interviews, Jeffries delves into the interdependencies of industry and the Third Reich at a new level, uncovering the dark, little-known history of IG Farbens in Nazi Germany.
