Using his extensive knowledge of the secret
operations of World War II, Joseph Persico,
author of the much acclaimed Piercing the
Reich, gives us a novel based upon a startling
fact. It is that of "Operation Bernhard" the
Nazi attempt to undermine the British econ-
omy by flooding the world markets with
counterfeit five-pound notes. "Bernhard"
employed master Jewish photoengravers im-
prisoned in concentration camps to produce
perfect countertfeits. In exchange for their
labors, the photoeigravers were guaranteed
survival.
The fiction of THE SPIDERWEB is launched
after the war when the plates from which the
counterfeit notes were made are hidden by
the Nazis, who intend to use them to finance
the organization dedicated to spiriting Nazis to South America, whence they will reestab-
lish the Reich. British, American, Russian,
and Nazi operatives begin a frantic and deadly
search for the prize.,
It is a courageous American secret service
agent and a beautiful Cerman woman who
are the emotional center of the tale, as they
struggle to retrieve the plates and save their
own lives from the desperate gangs who pur-
sue them. Set against a vivid background of
cold-war Europe, by an author,whose knowl-
edge of that period is unparalleled, THE
SPlDERWEB brings first-rate adventure and
suspense.
