This book, the House of Krupp, was well written, and kept the reader interested throughout.
This was SO MUCH MORE than just a focusing on the Nazi era for the Krupps!
Detailed accounts of the family life, motivations for doing business with various historical figures
throughout the span of the Krupp "dynasty", maintain your interest and give you valuable information.

Brings to life the Krupp men, and their heirs, and gives special insight, if one is
able to extrapolate, into the lives of such millionaires as Krupp.
This book was entertaining, and informative, and got me interested in learning more
about European history. After you read this book, you will look at history, and historical
documentaries, and perhaps wonder, Did Krupp furnish their weapons? Let me look back into
my book and find out!"
Kind of ties things together nicely.
Krupp and his sons were businessmen, and like many family businesses, will
sign contracts with ANYONE, just to keep the heirlooms intact.

had really expected much more pictures or original drawings of the arms, 340pages proza, only 4 pages pictures ..
the history of the family is detailed but was not my expectation
hence other purchases proofed much better : Deutsche Eisenbahn-Geschütze ( author Taube )
