Carroll Quigley:

The original edition published by Macmillan in 1966 sold about 8800 copies and sales were picking up in 1968 when they “ran out of stock,” as they told me (but in 1974, when I went after them with a lawyer, they told me that they had destroyed the plates in 1968). They lied to me for six years, telling me that they would re-print when they got 2000 orders, which could never happen because they told anyone who asked that it was out of print and would not be reprinted. They denied this until I sent them xerox copies of such replies to libraries, at which they told me it was a clerk’s error. In other words they lied to me but prevented me from regaining the publication rights by doing so (on OP [out of print] rights revert to holder of copyright, but on OS [out of stock] they do not.) ... Powerful influences in this country want me, or at least my work, suppressed.

While they have been allies lately, it is a mistake in my opinion to just lump the CFR—formed by disgruntled Wilsonian League disciples, after the sound whipping the patriots gave them in the great League of Nations Debate (1918 - 1920)--with the ex-Trotskyite Neocon Phenomenon. While both groups are clear antagonists to the American Conservative tradition, it is important to understand the differences between them in adopting strategies to reverse the immense damage that whether together or separately they have done to the American future.

In my linked article, above, we analyze the Neocons out of their "Godfather's" defining article--the one where he admits his student day adulation of the butcher Trotsky. The difference, bluntly put, between them & the CFR, is that between delusional one worlders & businessmen seeking to make money anywhere that they can, on the CFR side, and those willing to butcher anyone who gets in the way of an ideological promotion, on the Neocon side. (Trotsky was Lenin's butcher in the Bolshevik Revolution--as head of the "Red Army.")

The Neocons also, according to all the rumors were responsible for Bush II's absolutely idiotic Second Inaugural Address.
