Quigley, Carroll. The Anglo-American Establishment. New York: Books in
Focus, 1981. 354 pages.
Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) taught history at Georgetown's School of
Foreign Service since 1941. This book was written in 1949 and covers the
Rhodes-Milner Round Table Groups, a secret Oxford-related cabal that had
tremendous influence in British foreign policy from the time that Cecil
Rhodes began funding it at the turn of the century. In 1919 the Council on
Foreign Relations became the American branch of the Round Table. Quigley is
better known for "Tragedy and Hope" (1966), which reaffirms his earlier
suspicions (he says he had access to the Round Table's secret archives),
but lacks the rich detail of the earlier work. Quigley basically agreed
with the goals of these high-minded internationalists, but disliked their
inherited wealth and power, their methods, and particularly their secrecy.
Quigley became a darling of the anti-internationalist Right in the
U.S., from Cleon Skousen (The Naked Capitalist, 1970) through Pat Robertson
(The New World Order, 1991). Then to top it off, Bill Clinton mentioned
Quigley as his mentor in his nomination acceptance speech on July 16, 1992.
Clinton studied under Quigley at Georgetown in the middle 1960s, and then
became a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. Now he's a member of CFR, Trilateral
Commission, and Bilderberg, and many of his appointees are from the same
Rhodes-CFR-Trilateral circles. We don't know what this means, if anything.
