"Reveals how an immigrant group and its descendants have seized control of America's political parties and many of her cultural and educational organizations - even churches." - promotional handbill, a facsimile of which is included with this book. Beaty (1890-1961) "was a military intelligence officer during WWII and served in the Office of War Information in Washington DC. During the war he was Chief of the Interview Section and interviewed over two thousand persons, most of whom were returning from some high mission, delicate assignment, or deed of valor. Thus he had a unique opportunity to learn the history, resources, ideologies, capabilities, and intentions of the great foreign powers. In its most essential aspects, that picture was terrifyingly different from the picture presented by our government to the American people."- Preface to a later printing.
