First published in 1959, this book by U.S. Army Air Corps Major George Racey Jordan tells of the loss of U.S. gold reserves under Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, when, in an effort to counter the deflation which was paralyzing the economy, Executive Order 6102 declared that all privately held gold of American citizens was to be sold to the U.S. Treasury and the price raised from $20 to $35 per ounce. In Gold Swindle: The Story of Our Dwindling Gold, Major Jordan discusses in detail the gold threat to national security, analyses the government's power and sources thereof; describes the impending national crisis; and suggests steps to regain the U.S. citizens' right to own and hold gold
