198 pages including index and bibliography. "Here are the simple facts of the great betrayal. Wilson and House knew that they were doing something momentous. One cannot fathom men's motive's and this pair probably believed in what they were up to. What they did not believe in was representative government. They believed in government by an uncontrolled oligarchy whose acts would only become apparent after an interval so long that the electorate would be forever incapable of doing anything efficient to remedy depredations." - Ezra Pound, from Introduction.

Signed by author on dedication page. 217 pages. "...The World Order, in its anxiety to maintain control of every aspect of our lives, has banned passion. As a poor substitute, it gives us drugs and degeneracy. There are many facts in this book which you, the reader, will not wish to accept.

You may find even more astonishing true facts than I have managed to glean in thirty-five years of intensive and in-depth research." - from Foreword.

Government officials, Congressman, and reporters went to him for information on any subject'...

brossura Dopo "I Rothschild e gli altri", Pietro Ratto torna a ricucire pazientemente i collegamenti genealogici, finora tenuti nascosti, tra le famiglie che determinano gli equilibri economici, finanziari e politici mondiali, concentrandosi nello specifico sull'inimmaginabile influenza politica esercitata dalla famiglia dei Warburg (considerati i "Rothschild d'Amburgo") in Germania e il loro progressivo avvicinamento ai ricchissimi Rockefeller, sotto la protezione della grande dinastia Rothschild. Un'opera che offre una prospettiva nuova su moltissime vicende storiche degli ultimi secoli: le origini italiane di molte delle dinastie che hanno influito, e influiscono, sulla stabilità economico-finanziaria di grandi potenze straniere; la contrastata nascita e i tortuosi sviluppi della Federal Reserve; le insospettabili alleanze segrete tra fazioni e dinastie apparentemente rivali; le molte ombre sull'affondamento del Titanic; i veri obbiettivi di interventi internazionali finalizzati, ufficialmente, al ripristino della pace o degli equilibri mondiali. Tutto questo - e molto altro ancora - fa di questo saggio, un libro che disorienta, offrendo una prospettiva davvero nuova su moltissime vicende storiche degli ultimi secoli.

381 pages. Nine black and white sketches. "No name has been more prominently before the public during the last sixty years or more, as that of this great financial firm. Its origin was so shrouded in humble obscurity, and the rapidity with which it sprang forward to prosperity and fame was alike so extraordinary and so remarkable, that the public gaze has been kept by a species of fascination upon the movements of the well-known fianciers. From one corner of the world to the other the success of the Rothschilds has been the subject of universal wonder and envy." - from pages 1-2. Above-average wear. Front hinge open. Library binding.

375 pages. Index. "When I began my study I looked upon Woodrow Wilson as the villain of the ensuing drama. As I proceeded to delve into the debris of reminiscences and unwritten history, he gradually assumed some aspects of a martyr and a saint. There was a time when there was no one in the world whom I distrusted more than Edward Mandell House. Today he seems to me a genuine philosopher and a gifted statesman. Even if his good intentions, like Wilson's, have helped to pave mankind's way to hell, they gave us a glimpse of the Promised Land where peace abides and a new sanction governs the fate of nations." - xiv. It is commonly believed that Colonel House was in fact a Rothschild agent, assigned the task of seeing the Federal Reserve Act brought into law, thus privatizing the issuance of American money (again). If so, this book is of major importance to every American. Gift greetings, dated 1932, upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Binding intact.
