About the Author
He was invited to write a new constitution for Canada and the proposed United States of Latin America, and he published a model constitution that could be adopted by nations everywhere. He served in the FBI for 16 years, four years as Chief of Police in Salt Lake City, and ten years as a university professor. He was a prolific writer and produced three national best sellers, The Naked Communist, The Naked Capitalist, and The Five Thousand Year Leap. Eight of his books were used as college texts, and several were translated and published in other countries.
Dr. Skousen was born in Canada, and returned to the U.S. with his family at age ten. He spent two years in Mexico, two years in England, graduated from San Bernardino College in California, and received his juris doctor degree from George Washington University Law School. He was admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia and before the District Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.
His seminars on the Constitution have been taught to several million across the U.S., and among his students were dozens of U.S. Senators and Representatives, two Supreme Court justices, and several candidates for President. He believed knowledge and understanding were key to maintaining a free country, and spent his entire adult life opening up complex issues for deeper understanding by students and audiences all around the world.
Dr. Skousen and his wife, Jewel Pitcher of San Bernardino, California, are the parents of eight children, 50 grandchildren, and more than 120 great-grandchildren.

About the authors

Paul B. Skousen is an author and instructor on the United States Constitution. He received his undergraduate from BYU in Journalism and his Master's degree in National Security Studies from Georgetown University.
After graduate school Paul worked for President Ronald Reagan in the White House Situation Room. In addition, Paul was an intelligence officer for the CIA. He received national notoriety when he preserved a large bag of shredded top secret documents, the so-called "smoking gun" from the Iran-Contra Affair, that he sold piecemeal as "shredded secrets from the White House." Paul Harvey and other media outlets covered the unusual story.
Paul has extensive experience interviewing political and military leaders in Egypt, Israel and Jordan, including the former prime minister of Jordan, the political advisor to Egypt's President Mubarak, and senior generals in the Israeli military.
Paul is the author of seven books including How to Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the Bassam Adventure Series and The Naked Socialist. He has revised and edited several of his father's books including Fantastic Victory, The Cleansing of America, The Five Thousand Year Leap Glenn Beck Edition, and The Majesty of God's Law. He is currently writing the Biography of W. Cleon Skousen, among other projects, and is a frequent speaker and motivational instructor.
Additionally, Paul has been a columnist for The Daily Caller, and currently teaches communications and journalism at Utah Valley University.

W. Cleon Skousen is best remembered as a popular author, speaker and teacher who lectured in every state and province in North America, and in more than 60 countries world-wide. He was a student of history and a scholar of law, specializing in the principles of Freedom, the U.S. Constitution, economics, and ancient history and scriptures.

I am amused by Factfinder "Ernie" (another reviewer of this book) and his attempts to debunk this and other 40 year on conspiracy books. Read his other reviews. According to himself, he is sifting through thousands of pages of documents searching for the nuggets that will debunk these "Conspiracy Theory" books, and save us from believing such kook theories. Perhaps Ernie would like us to believe that there are no more conspiracies attempting to grab power, to enslave the masses, or to rule the world. Sure there have been plenty of historical conspiracies, but as a world population, we have evolved past this. Human nature has changed! There are no more conspiracies anywhere in the world. We are an enlightened world populace now. Right on! We are glad to live in such an enlightened age Ernie! You sir have done us a great favor by unmasking the last great conspiracy. The conspiracy of all those authors 40 years ago to create evidence of a global conspiracy to rule the world that in fact (if you believe Ernie) does not now, nor did it ever exist!
Well, I have to get back to work...I have bills to pay. Now Ernie on the other hand, has all the time in the world. Time to sift through thousands of documents with the sole intent to debunk 40 year old conspiracy theories. And time to write massive book reviews proving once and for all that all these books were indeed a hoax. In fact a conspiracy in and of themselves! Hmmm.....Makes a guy wonder if Ernie might have gotten a "grant" from the Rockefeller Foundation to do some research.
There are no conspiracy theories here. Skousen, unlike Quigley actually provides footnotes and references.
A historian who writes a 1300+ page book with no notes is a novelist, not a professional historian.
In the back of his book, Skousen describes the idealogical shift of the depression-era Democratic party the same way my liberal American government professor from an urban metropolitan university did in one of my class lectures several years ago.
I was fascinated by Skousen's discussion on how tax-exempt foundations can be used to wield great influence in world affairs by destabilizing and indebting governemts on the one hand while encouraging the West to make charitable donations for "worthy causes" on the other. I couldn't help but noting the similarities between Skousen's take on tax-exempt foundations and the establishment of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. After establishing their foundation, the "M" stock symbol on the NYSE was made available to Microsoft for the taking - Microsoft declined and elected to remain on the NASDAQ. (Macy's department stores have the NYSE "M" slot now). Also, after Bill Gates established his foundation and went abroad saying that computers couldn't solve the third world's problems (an odd sentiment for one of the world's foremost capitalists), the governemt antitrust suit against Microsoft fizzled into oblivion. Bill Gates acquiesced to "play ball" by using his excess fortune in the same way described in Skousen's book.
When the issue of lowering inheritance taxes came up in the news a few years ago round about that same time, Bill Gates' father who headed up the Gates Foundation publicly spoke out against lowering the tax, reasoning that trillions of dollars stands to change hands over the next few years between boomers and their children; when aging boomers are faced with the choice of bequeathing their estate to their children and losing a substantial amount in taxes or bequeathing it to a tax-exempt foundation, they'd give it to a foundation. In essence, the inheritance tax helps ensure their continued existence.
Is this the "noose around the neck" of the working class that Quigley alludes to in "Tragedy and Hope?"
For further insight and corroboration, read "Phillip Dru: Administrator" by Edward Mandell "Colonel" House, one of FDR's top advisors and chief architect of the New Deal.
For an entertaining and well-informed look at American and world affairs, watch the 1976 miniseries, "Captains and the Kings", starring Richard Jordan based on the Tayler Caldwell novel.
Skousen isn't making this stuff up.
