When originally published in 1985 this was the first detailed study
of business in Nazi Germany. Drawing on a wealth of new evidence
from government and private archives, the book throws light on the
important role played by Germany heavy industry in preserving
traditions valuable for the post-Nazi future. Contrary to widely
held beliefs, the industrialists of the Ruhr did not master-mind
the economic strategy of the third Reich, nor were they the
helpless victims of Hitler's tyranny. In this penetrating study,
the author reveals that while the management of the coal industry
in the Ruhr certainly cooperated with Hitler, they did so only to
the extent that it served their own purposes, which were far less
destructive than those of the regime.
