Publisher's Synopsis

Vaudeville manager, boxing promoter, stock swindler and card shark Freeman Bernstein was no stranger to the law. But the charges he was arrested for in 1937 were more serious than those he had ever encountered before. The most powerful and feared man in the world - Adolf Hitler - claimed that Bernstein had committed fraud against the German government. In this fascinating and colourful book, Bernstein's great nephew discovers that this New York Jew may indeed have been responsible for a critical shortage of Nazi resources in the early years of WWII.
