For centuries, a hoard of lost Spanish gold bullion lay buried in the volcanic caves beneath the island of Corregidor until it was discovered by a squad of Marines during the Battle of Corregidor during WWII. Blood & Treasure takes us on an internationaljourney of war, corruption, gold & politics and what happens when a network of politicians, military officers, financiers, and organized crime figures who have spent generations suppressing the truth get involved.
As time passes, the power and influence of the wealth of the gold intensifies, old alliances fracture, witnesses disappear, and long-buried scandals emerge. The deeper the team descends into corruption, the deeper they create a history of immoral behavior, greed, and betrayal stretching from the battlefield to the highest levels of power. What began as buried wealth became the fuel that changed the course of history.
