<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Drawing on a vast range of original documents and thousands of hours of interviews, "Gold Warriors" exposes one of the great state secrets of the 20th century--a cache of Japanese gold found in the Philippines during World War II.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The reader will walk away from this book astounded and outraged at the immensity of the fraudulent activities that the world's governments, banks, and spies are engaged in. <i>Gold Warriors</i> is chilling in its accumulation."--<i>Counterpunch</i> <p/>"Easily the best guide available to the scandal of Yamashita's gold."--<i>London Review of Books</i> <p/>"One is swept up in the high intensity story the Seagraves tell."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"The Seagraves have uncovered one of the biggest secrets of the twentieth century."--Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanking<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peggy Seagrave </b>was the senior researcher and picture editor at Time-Life Books.
