Anton Chaitkin

Historian and investigative journalist Anton Chaitkin is the author of hundreds of "scoops" on economic and political history, and has written a large body of startlingly original, published articles. These cause one to ask, "Why didn't I learn this in school?" Chaitkin was History Editor for Executive Intelligence Review from 1995 to 2015. For 40 years, he has made groundbreaking discoveries about the lives and intentions of those who fought for man's improvement, and of their imperial opponents. His most recent book, "Who We Are: America's Fight for Universal Progress, from Franklin to Kennedy: Volume I - 1750s to 1850s" is an historical page-turner. Who were the people who were responsible for making America into an industrial, world power? How did they think about what they were doing? If you'd like answers to those questions, this book is for you. And those answers have urgent relevance for the United States today. Chaitkin co-authored "George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography". The only serious biography of Bush, Sr., it helped defeat Bush's 1992 re-election attempt. His 1985 book "Treason in America: from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman" documented from "blue-blood" family archives the takeover of U.S. policymaking by agents and allies of the British empire. This classic with 100,000 copies sold, long out of print, is now in a Kindle edition. His father, a New York attorney, fought in the courts to break Wall Street and London sponsorship of Adolf Hitler's dictatorship in Germany. Many of the lawsuits were against international Nazi interests managed by Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of the two Bush Presidents.
