I cannot call this a book because in reality it is more like a pamphlet. Onewould think that it is a well-documented report on a Nazi plot to counterfeit gold. In reality, we find none of that. The author meets some femaleone day, gets to drinking with her and somehow end up with a gold coin she wore. Later he gets more. He throws in some real Historical names like"Operation Bernhard" and "SS Major Bernhard Kruger" to make the story seem real, but he never gives any specifics about thisalleged Nazi plot to counterfeit gold coins. On several occasion he mentions "alchemy" which should have been warning enough.

I kept expecting the booklet to get real and waited to hear about where the coins were minted, who distributed them, what the law has to say; butit was more like a discussion of Area 51. It goes nowhere. This is probably the first time I really felt ripped off by a Kindle book. It is acomplete mess with no redeeming factors. The best thing about this entire book is the cover which shows a pistol and some gold coins. Curiously,about 40 years ago I wrote an article about propaganda postcards of WWII and used a similar cover depicting my own military .45. Once you get pastthe cover there is nothing of interest.
