Publisher's Note
ON VERY RARE OCCASIONS a book appears which forever changes the
way in which we perceive the world around us. Within a short while it
becomes hard to understand how we could have functioned without
the knowledge gained from it. The Anglo-American Establishment is
such a book. In it Professor Carroll Quigley presents certain "keys"
crucial to the understanding of 20th century political, economic and
military events -events of the past, present, and future. That the nar
rative ends in 1949 does not detract in any way from what is presented,
and its great value. It does, however, break open the way for current
writers and students to work more effectively in their areas.
The fact that Carroll Quigley, a highly respected professor at
Georgetown University and an instructor at Princeton and Harvard,
could not find a publisher for this work, is in itself significant.
How Books in Focus came to discover the existence of the
manuscript is a story in itself, which began on a beach in Lindos on the
Mediterranean island of Rhodes, in 1967, eight years before the com
pany was formed; but that story will have to be told at a later time.
