The Anglo-American Establishment
Carroll Quigley

On rare occasions a book is published which forever alter the way in which we view the world around us. Within a short while, it becomes difficult to understand how we could have functioned without the knowledge gained from it. The 'Anglo-American Establishment' is such a book. In it Professor Carroll Quigley presents crucial "keys" without which 20th century political, economic, and military events can never be fully understood. The reader will see that this applies to events past - present - and future.

While the notion of conspiratorial influence on world events has gained credence with both extremities of the American political spectrum, and to a degree with the general public, the more academically-oriented person has tended to downplay such influence, largely because of the lack of scholarship in the presentation and analysis of the facts by those supporting the conspiracy theories. In addition, many such supporters have made themselves easy to ignore and, in fact, have themselves always assumed that they would be ignored. Professor Quigley's work does not suffer from these defects. The evidence he presents here appears irrefutable; the analysis - brilliant.

In his own words:
"It is not easy for an outsider to write the history of a secret group of this kind, but... it should be done, for this group is, as I shall show, one of the most important historical facts of the twentieth century... I suppose in the long view my attitude would not be far different from that of the (society)... but agreeing with the group on goals, I cannot agree with them on methods... In this group were the persons who must command the admiration and affection of all who know them. On the other hand, in this group were persons whose lives have been a disaster to our way of life. Unfortunately... the influence of the latter kind has been stronger... I have been told that the story I relate here would be better left untold... the last thing I should wish is that anything I write could be used by the anglophobes... but I feel the truth... once told... can be of injury to no men of good will."

"No country that values its safety should allow what the Milner group accomplished - that is, that a small number of men would be able to wield such power in administration and politics, should be given almost complete control over the publication of documents relating to their actions, should be able to exercise such influence over the avenues of information that create public opinion, and should be able to monopolize so completely the writing and the teaching of the history of their period."

Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) was a highly respected professor at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He was an instructor at Princeton and Harvard; a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense, the House Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration; and the U.S. Navy.
