Why did the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia include more
financiers than medical doctors? Rather than caring for the victims
of war and revolution, its members seemed more intent on
negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government, and
subsequently the Bolshevik regime. In a courageous investigation,
Antony Sutton establishes tangible historical links between US
capitalists and Russian communists. Drawing on State Department
files, personal papers of key Wall Street figures, biographies and
conventional histories, Sutton reveals: the role of Morgan banking
executives in funneling illegal Bolshevik gold into the US; the
co-option of the American Red Cross by powerful Wall Street forces;
the intervention by Wall Street sources to free the Marxist
revolutionary Leon Trotsky, whose aim was to topple the Russian
government; the deals made by major corporations to capture the
huge Russian market a decade and a half before the US recognized
the Soviet regime; and, the secret sponsoring of Communism by
leading businessmen, who publicly championed free enterprise. "Wall
Street and the Bolshevik Revolution" traces the foundations of
Western funding of the Soviet Union. Dispassionately, and with
overwhelming documentation, the author details a crucial phase in
the establishment of Communist Russia. This classic study - first
published in 1974 and part of a key trilogy - is reproduced here in
its original form. (The other volumes in the series include "Wall
Street and the Rise of Hitler" and a study of Franklin D.
Roosevelt's "1933 Presidential election in the United States").
