Opis

This book examines the conflict between the US and Switzerland in the context of Swiss banking secrecy and Holocaust related claims from World War II until the end of the 1990s. The US pressured Switzerland for Holocaust restitution, eventually resulting in a billion-dollar settlement and causing the Swiss to reevaluate their wartime history.
