AMERICA’S SECRET ESTABLISHMENT ( AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ORDER of SKULL & BONES ) 1983 By ANTONY C. SUTTON

Authors Preface:
America's Secret Establishment
After 16 books and 25 years in basic research I thought I'd heard it all ... the world was a confused mess,
probably beyond understanding and certainly beyond salvation - and there was little 'l could do about it.
Back in 1968 my Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development was published by the Hoover
Institution at Stanford University. In three substantial volumes I detailed how the West had built the Soviet
Union. However, the work generated a seemingly insoluble puzzle - why have we done this? Why did we build
the Soviet Union, while we also transferred technology to Hitler's Germany? Why does Washington want to
conceal these facts? Why have we boosted Soviet military power? And simultaneously boosted our own?
In subsequent books, the Wall Street series, I added more questions - but no answers. I had more or less
arrived at the conclusion that there was no rational answer that could be proven.
Then a year or so ago I received an eight-inch batch of documents - nothing less than the membership lists
of an American secret society. Glancing through the sheets it was more than obvious - this was no ordinary
group. The names spelled Power, with a capital P. As I probed each individual a pattern emerged ... and a
formerly fuzzy world became crystal clear.
The book you will read here is a combined version of a series reporting on this research. Each volume builds
on the previous volume in a logical step-by-step process.
These volumes will explain why the West built the Soviets and Hitler; why we go to war, to lose; why Wall
Street loves Marxists and Nazis; why the kids can't read; why the Churches have become propaganda founts;
why historical facts are suppressed, why politicians lie and a hundred other whys.
This series is infinitely more important than the original Western Technology series on technological
transfers. If I have a magnum opus, this is it.
