This book does an excellent job of sticking to the facts that are backed up by actual documentation and records. It also tries to take the emotion out of the situation and present what happened from a pragmatic perspective. It is a bit dry, but a good book for anyone that wants a good base for understanding the "Gold Train"

This book tells the incredible story of a train filled with gold, fleeing Hungary as the Russians conquer it from the Nazis.
Full of riveting details and historical analysis, the research done for this book gives a wide background on the history of Jews in Hungary before and during World War II and provides with a detailed account of how Jewish property was confiscated by the Hungarian authorities, transported in a train to Austria, confiscated by US and French armies to finally disappear.
