About this listen

In 1945, US intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. These, combined with Japanese treasure recovered during the US occupation, and with recovered Nazi loot, would create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism.

This "black gold" gave Washington virtually limitless, unaccountable funds, providing an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries for more than fifty years.

I can’t rate or recommend highly enough this unprecedented tome of untold history. As stated early in the book, the authors were lucky to live into old age. I’m so thankful they existed and I’m gutted that they’re now passed and not still researching and writing.
Thank you Stirling and Peggy Seagrave, thank you.
