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.

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.
