4.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book, March 3, 2007

This review is from: Treason in America (Paperback)

This IS a collection of articles published by Lyndon LaRouche but not authored by him. Mr Chaitkin clearly has an agenda because his father was personally involved in a lawsuit against Harriman in the 1920s attempting to stop his support of the germans illegially. And I personally am not a LaRouche fan - I question his national ecconomic policies.

However there is great merit in this book. It truely ranks as a history book and not fiction. It is backed up with numerous refernces to original works and publications. It reads farily well for something as far reaching and encompasing as it is.

This book traces the links between the oligarchical families of 17th century Europe to its effects and agents here in America. It connects dots I never knew existed. Spanning secret societies, indian wars, opium and slave traders, yellow journalistic hits, intrigues, and financial swindles, this history is a real eye openner.

I don't doubt it is biased, but the bias is clear. It clearly says in the introduction that it is associated with LaRouche and if you read it you will find why the author was motivated to write it - not for a paycheck from LaRouche.

I think this work serves a very useful purpose in informing anyone interested in history, ecconomics or political intrigue. It does deserve a few good readings. I wish most americans at least knew about this view of history.

This review is from: Treason in America: From Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman (Mass Market Paperback)

Columbus discovered the americas in 1492. Twenty one years later Balboa discovered the Pacific ocean. As simplistic as these statements may seem, two facts are just as obvious. One, American history begins with these statements. Secondly these statements are only true from a European perspective. The book Treason in America: From Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman demonstrates to the reader the simple premise that American history has been written largely from a European point of view. The author explains in detail how British financial institutions, funded an American aristocracy in the early 1800's. This British-American aristocracy along with European intelligence services did what the British military could not: return America to the British-European circle of influence. In passing the book discusses some of the American presidents (a total of six by my count) that were either murdered or died under highly suspicious circumstances while in office ( a seventh president, Ronald Reagan, was semi-assassinated). During this same time span how many English, French or German heads of state have met the same fate? In this respect sitting American presidents have been treated no better than any other colonial puppet! Is this a conspiracy book? Absolutely not. This book is all about a European ruling elite that has never abandoned the feudal way of life. The enslavement of the many by the few, politically and economically, is not a new age concept. It is quite old and quite real. This book does not try to paint a broad picture. Rather it carefully examines some of the trees that make up the forest. It has been said that history is written by the winners. The author records the names of some of the people who would rather remain hidden and out of sight.

This review is from: Treason in America (Paperback)

When you read this book you will join a small fraternity of folks who are armed with a fresh point of view, one far different from what is taught in America's schools and universities. The material presented comes from the public record, but here it is excavated and arranged to reveal a pattern of treachery lurking beneath the surface of familiar historical events.
