They used negotiation, intimidation and their foreign agents to influence foreign policy in Britain and other major foreign powers. They also used the influence of the wealthy, whose fear of communism led them to favor the development of fascist countries. The author warns about similar techniques being used within the United States-- to keep us out of the war and to weaken us in the event of war. To me, the story was enlightening and plausible. Most other histories I've seen of this period gloss over the details, so I enjoyed reading it. It is one man's view of the coming debacle and must have been enlightening to some people during the period before America entered the war.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.archive.org/details/secretarmiesb00spivrich"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.archive.org/img/95339990-6873-4361-AA35-F19B5CE7E7F9" alt="item image" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C596A6D2-4DE8-4022-87F6-1F71C184B107/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
