 For the first time, a definite link between some New York bankers and many revolutionaries, including Bolsheviks, is documented by an established scholar.
Drawing on State Department files, personal papers of key Wall Street figures, biographies and conventional histories, Antony Sutton builds a fascinating case. The American Red Cross Mission to Russia in 1917 contained more financiers than M.D.'s. Its members seemed intent on negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government, and subsequently the Bolshevik regime, than in caring for the victims of war and revolution.
Mr. Sutton documents the fact that some of America's leading bankers attempted to subvert this nation's laws by illegally importing Bolshevik gold. Some Wall Streeters were leading advocates of the Soviet causes in the backrooms of politics-while publicly supporting the anti-Bolshevik movement. One American Financier donated one million dollars to the Bolsheviks during the first shaky days of their regime.
In his successful earlier work National Suicide (Arlington House 1973) Antony Sutton demonstrated the Western technological assistance to the Soviet Union helped create a military apparatus which threatens the survival of the non-Communist world. Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution goes back to the foundations of Western investment in the Soviet Union. Dispassionately, with overwhelming documentation, the author details this crucial phase in the establishment of the Soviet state - thus recalling Lenin's cynical prediction that the capitalists would fight among themselves over who would sell the Communists the rope with which the Communists would hang them.
Sutton's Research Reveals:
The role of the Morgan banking executives in funneling illegal Bolshevik gold into the U.S. How the American Red Cross was co-opted by powerful forces on Wall Street. Wall Streeters who intervented to free Leon Trotsky, even though Trotsky's stated aim was to engineer "the real revolution" - the Soviet coup which toppled Kerensky. The deals made by major corporations to capture the huge Russian market a decade and a half before the U.S. recognized the Soviet regime. The "closet socialism" of leading businessmen who paraded publicly as champions of free enterprise.
