In "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution," Antony Cyril Sutton unveils a startling narrative that reshapes our understanding of Western finance's role in the rise of Communism in Russia. With meticulous research and an unwavering commitment to historical accuracy, Sutton peels back layers of decades-long assumptions to reveal a complex web of financial support and political maneuvering from the most unlikely quarter: Wall Street. Through a deep dive into State Department files, personal papers, and biographies, this groundbreaking work exposes the clandestine relationships and transactions that linked America's financial elite with the architects of the Bolshevik movement. From the curious composition of the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia to the illicit flow of Bolshevik gold into the United States, Sutton crafts a narrative that is both illuminating and unsettling, challenging the reader to reconsider what they thought they knew about American capitalism and Soviet Communism's early days. Beyond merely recounting events, Sutton's analysis delves into the motivations and implications of Wall Street's engagement with the Bolshevik regime, unveiling a paradox where American businessmen who publicly championed the principles of free enterprise secretly facilitated the ascendancy of a system antithetical to their own. "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution" is not just a historical account; it is a revelation about the power of financial interests to shape global politics in ways that often remain hidden from public view. This classic study, part of a crucial trilogy, stands as a testament to the intricate intersections of finance and ideology, urging readers to question the narratives handed down through mainstream historical accounts.
