How British banking rules America. A new book by Anton Chaitkin.

Anton Chaitkin is an author, historian, and political activist. He is a founder of theLyndon LaRouche movement and former History Editor for Executive Intelligence Review. Anton was born in New York City, grew up in Pasadena, CA and attended Reed College in Oregon.

Chaitkin's father, Jacob Chaitkin, was the legal counsel and strategist for the boycott against Nazi Germany carried on by the American Jewish Congress in the 1930s and worked for the Army Air Corps intelligence during WWII. His late sister, Marianna Wertz, and his brother-in-law, William F. Wertz Jr., have also been active in the LaRouche movement.

Chaitkin authored: Treason in America– from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman. The basic premise of the book is that the American Revolution was not successfully concluded, because a significant Tory faction has persisted in US politics which is philosophically opposed to the ideas of the Revolution, and has sought to undermine them. According to Chaitkin, this faction has included Wall Street financiers, Boston Brahmins, and Confederate secessionists. Chaitkin describes the book as "a 600-page history of the struggle between the American nationalists and the tory-British-racist-imperialist faction from the Revolution to the Harriman-Dulles years."

With Webster Tarpley, Chaitkin co-authored The Unauthorized Biography of George Bush, which claimed to expose the ties of Prescott Bush and W. Averell Harriman with the Nazi Party of Germany.
