Over the years, hundreds of adventurers have followed dozens of cryptic
treasure maps, and much of the gold has been recovered. Ferdinand Marcos
got some of it during the 1970s, but this book shows that the U.S. got a
good chunk of it also, immediately after the war. Truman decided to keep
it secret, and intelligence agents deposited the gold in banks around the
world. This secret stash helped insure U.S. hegemony. It not only meant
that the U.S. could control the price of gold (which is why the dollar
was based on it), but it was also used to finance foreign aid and covert
operations. Even today, according to the authors, certain events in high
finance, and the piracy and exploitation behind them, cannot be fully
understood without knowing about these secret deposits.
