To understand the minds that are shaping this world, read the book that shapes their minds. Peter F. Krogh, Dean of The School of Foreign Service Georgetown "The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan , nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.
With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and worldwide economic depression. As an interpretive historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways.
It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to influenced the development of today's world.

Nearly five million copies of the book have been sold to date, according to the publisher, Concord Press in California, and a new German language edition is selling well. Author and Birch Society member Gary Allen is one of Quigley's biggest fans, but he laughs a huge laugh when told Quigley is the most reluctant of heroes.
Of course, says Allen good-naturedly, the Establishment could not be pleased Quigley revealed so much about a Council on Foreign Relation, which prefers to swing its weight quietly. Quigley let the cat out of the bag. He had the liberal academic credentials. I'm sure a lot of people are very unhappy with him for telling tales out of school.
Allen did not talk to Quigley before he began quoting from Tragedy and Hope because Allen understood from "some intelligence people in Washington" that Quigley was arrogant and unapproachable. And that this conspiracy is the same thing as the Illuminati, a secret society founded in in Bavaria. And that the Illuminati are a branch of the Masons.
There are some people who say the Society of Cincinnati, of which George Washington was a member during the American Revolution, was a branch of the Illuminati and that's why the Masons built their monument in Alexandria to George Washington, since he was a Mason and head of the Illuminati before he helped start the Society of Cincinnati. See what I mean? But he has narrowed the battle to stopping the illegal publication of Tragedy and Hope. For reasons not clear to Quigley but he does not attribute it to any conspiracy , Macmillan stopped publishing Tragedy and Hope alter it sold 9, copies.
Suddenly pirate editions began appearing, almost exact photo-reproductions with identical dust jackets and binding. The original book had yellow-edged pages, a touch either missed or considered too costly by whoever decided to begin offering Tragedy and Hope on the sly.
Carroll Quigley quickly became a right-wing underground sensation. Not easy reading, but it is essential reading for those who consider themselves in-depth students of the conspiracy.
As long as the right insists on selling his book, Quigley reasons he might as well get his piece of the action. He has no such interest in jumping aboard the conspiracy bandwagon. The Ku Klux Klan had. But we are dealing with two different things. I don't think that is a conspiracy; because something is a secret does not mean it is a conspiracy.

Quigley's theme of "future preference" was a topic reiterated in Clinton's nominating speech for Mike Dukakis in the Democratic National Convention.
