Yu. Semenov’s book is mainly devoted to the search for cultural property (in particular, the Amber Room from the Catherine Palace in Pushkin) stolen by the Nazis during World War II. The author, following the trail of Nazi robbers, encounters neo-Nazism, mafia, aggressive anti-communism, and racism in Germany and other countries of the capitalist world. However, his meetings with honest people inspire optimism, the belief that the broad movement for peace and social justice, so that reaction and imperialism can never plunge humanity into a new military catastrophe, will win.
