Book Description
Excerpt from The War Traders: An Exposure The substance of the following paper was read at the National Peace Congress, Leeds, on June 11, 1913. On the previous evening, in the House of Commons, in answer to a request that he would print lists of the larger Government contractors, Mr. Asquith had declined to satisfy what he called "a roving curiosity." It is so many years since my "curiosity" began to "rove" in this field that I should hardly have been drawn back to the subject at this time but for two considerations. The first arose from Dr. Liebknecht's revelations in the Reichstag, and the manner of their reception in this country. It seemed necessary to show that Germany has no monopoly of the evil here dealt with, and to state more emphatically than heretofore the chief corollary to the proposition so well argued by Mr. Norman Angell, that war does not, and as between great modern nations cannot, pay. War does not pay the nations. But war panics and preparations do, all the time and on an enormous scale, pay powerful groups of men in each nation; and it may be doubted whether any real peace will be achieved till this association of political power and the private trade in arms is broken. Secondly, the Marconi trials and inquiry have set up new currents of critical thought. Men who differ in their view of this melancholy episode may yet agree in hoping that it may result in a generally higher standard of public duty. But if that end is to be attained, there will have to be a much wider inquiry into the connection between Parliamentary or administrative power and private profit-making than has yet been attempted. Three motives meet, then, in the following pages- international peace, national economy, and purity of public life. I have sought to state the case in precise terms, and to exclude any statement as to fact that is not verifiable.

Book Description
Think you know about British history and the causes of the First World War? Think again. This fascinating and gripping study of events at the turn of the Twentieth Century is a remarkable insight into how political and social factors that we widely accept to be the causes of The Great War, were really just a construct put together by a very small, but powerful, political elite... 'Thought-provoking . . . Docherty and Macgregor do not mince their words . . . their arguments are powerful' -- Britain at War 'Simply astonishing' -- ***** Reader review 'Very illuminating' -- ***** Reader review 'You simply MUST read this book' -- ***** Reader review 'This is a page-turner' -- ***** Reader review *********************************************************************************** Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for the First World War. It reveals how accounts of the war's origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For ten years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St Petersburg to that cabal in London. Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view. Hidden History poses a tantalising challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you . . .
