Hidden Government - Hardcover
$67.48
by John Creagh Scott (Author)
Hidden Government is a short treatise by Lieutenant-Colonel John Creagh Scott (1879–1957), a British Army officer who served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in the South African War and commanded battalions on the Somme in the First World War, receiving the D.S.O. and O.B.E. After retirement he settled in England, studied politics and economics, and became associated with A. K. Chesterton’s journal Candour and the League of Empire Loyalists. First published in 1954 and later reissued by the Britons Publishing Society, the book presents the results of his reading on the forces he believed shaped postwar events.
The work argues that the disorders of the mid-twentieth century are not accidental but the outcome of a deliberate “Plan,” drawn largely from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Scott examines what he takes to be the operation of a hidden hand in finance, the press, state control, Zionism, the Palestine question, communism, and the churches. He contends that governments themselves are controlled by personages behind the scenes, and he frames the charge of antisemitism as a defensive instrument of that plan. The text is offered as an objective study for the general reader, supported by quotations from Disraeli, Smuts, Churchill, and contemporary sources.
Sovereign Archive Publishing is proud to offer this primary document of postwar British conspiracy literature. Hidden Government remains essential reading for those interested in learning more about mid-century political writing, the reception of the Protocols, and the literature of hidden government in the 1950s.
