Quigley was the better known of these; he wrote two seminal tomes, Tragedy and Hope, and The Anglo-American Establishment, the latter especially delving into the imperial cabals who comprised Alfred (Lord) Milner's Secret Elites (aka "Milner's Kindergarten"). And although the authors go further and deeper, it is to Quigley they acknowledge their biggest debt.
As for the Secret Elites (whose inner circle included the reigning Rothschild of his era Lord Nathan Rothschild, aka "Natty"), Quigley for his part was unequivocal (albeit less so about their motives than their methods). After noting that, "...this secret society was created by Cecil Rhodes and his principal trustee, Lord Milner, and continues to exist to this day", he presents a succinct introduction to the overarching Hidden History narrative:
"No country that values its safety should allow what the Milner group accomplished -- [that] a small number of men would be able to wield such power in administration and politics, [to] exercise such influence over the avenues of information that create public opinion, and [to] monopolize so completely the writing and teaching of the history of their own period." [My emphasis]
In their Introduction the authors waste little time preparing us for what follows. After noting on the one hand that "[T]he history of the First World War is a deliberately concocted lie" yet duly acknowledging the "very real sacrifice, heroism, horrendous waste of life, [and] misery that followed", they continue to plough the field of ugly reality that was the prelude to the Great War:
"...the truth of how it all began and how it was unnecessarily and deliberately prolonged beyond 1915 has been successfully covered up for a century. A carefully falsified history was created to conceal the fact that Britain, not Germany, was responsible for the war. Had the truth become widely known after 1918, the consequences for the British establishment would have been cataclysmic". [My emphasis]
As a former (now decidedly 'rehabbed') history teacher, this unflinching expose is something to behold. I now have to contend with the uncomfortable reality that most of what I've taught my students over the years about this event was indeed, "bunk". Courtesy of my own "studied dissection" of the people, situation and circumstance of modern history in general -- itself triggered by another more recent history diverting event, that of 9/11 -- this, at once appalling yet strangely liberating, realisation admittedly has been a work in progress for some time. The upshot is that in good conscience I could no longer teach the history prescribed by the current curriculum here in Australia or anywhere else in the Western education system, the content of which is unlikely to change anytime soon.
The Great Gamers of Whitehall
Be that as it may, Docherty and Macgregor have in one fell swoop peeled away any remaining scales from my eyes. Those readers prepared to consider this alternate, yet convincing narrative, will I suspect experience a similarly jarring epiphany. In this the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign (to which I will return soon), for want of a better word, the timing is 'perfect'.
As a writer and researcher on such matters, understanding the real origins of this War to End all Wars (itself a designation qualifying at once as one of history's cruelest deceptions and bitterest ironies) has always been critical to grasping what is happening now geopolitically with the U.S., or more specifically, with the unholy Anglo-American-Israeli alliance. It is also crucial in determining where things could be heading in the not too distant future, and what is likely to transpire in the process.
In order to more fully appreciate the driving forces at play in England behind the adoption of such a strategy, a stroll down memory lane is necessary.
