内容简介


This book, the first ever based on unrestricted access to General Motor's internal records, documents the giant American corporation's dealings with the Third Reich. GM purchased Opel, Europe's largest automaker, in the 1920s and continued to hold it through the Second World War. Historian Henry Turner uncovers the fascinating story of how the American carmaker conducted business in Germany under the Nazi regime and explores larger issues concerning the relations between international corporations and the Third Reich. The book presents new and detailed information about General Motor's interactions with Hitler and other Nazi officials, including the carmaker's attempt to capture the Volkswagen project. It also reveals how American GM executives thwarted a sustained Nazi effort to gain control of Opel. The author concludes with an assessment of the extent of the company's implication, through Opel, in the Nazi war effort and in the exploitation of forced labour. Also available by Henry Ashby Turner: Germany from Partition to Reunification, (paperback ISBN 030005347 9, 13.9 5) "Based on excellent and deep research, this book provides a clear, contextualized, and convincing account of General Motors efforts to run its German subsidiary Opel from 1933 to the American entry into the war in 1941." Gerald D. Feldman, University of California, Berkeley
