Quoting Mike <dogas_at_bellsouth.net>:
> "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi
> Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation" by Edwin Black,
> Crown

I saw it at the local Hastings, but also didn't have the money to
pick it up. I will read it this summer, though. I suspect it will
try to shock me by detailing how IBM had sold technology of some
kind to Germany before US involvement in World War II. While such
a practice seems shocking today, it probably wasn't such a big deal
back then. Correct me if my history is wrong, but it seems to me
that Germany would have in fact been the best potential customer,
being one country that made decent progress towards getting out of
the depression that was widespread in Europe at the time. Also,
this was before we all figured out that Naziism was a Bad Thing,
right?

Can anyone tell us what the book says?
