The original book, published under the title Mullins On The Federal Reserve, was commissioned by the poet Ezra Pound in 1948. Ezra Pound was a political prisoner for thirteen and a half years at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Washington, D.C. (a Federal institution for the insane). His release was accomplished largely through the efforts of Mr. Mullins. Published in 1952 by Kasper and Horton, New York, the original book was the first nationally-circulated revelation of the secret meetings of the international bankers at Jekyll Island, Georgia, 1907-1910, at which place the draft of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was written. During the intervening years, the author continued to gather new and more startling information about the backgrounds of the people who direct the Federal Reserve policies. New information gathered over the years from hundreds of newspapers, periodicals, and books give corroborating insight into the connections of the international banking houses. This edition has additional entries by the author through 2003. Mr. Mullins passed away in 2010.

Paul Brodeur has been one of the nation's leading and most outspoken environmental journalists for thirty years. Now, with a novelist's flair for storytelling and the keen eye of a veteran journalist, he turns his attention to the experiences of his own life, weaving family secrets that were kept from him, secrets that he kept as a counterintelligence agent, and secrets he uncovered as an investigative reporter into the tapestry of the Cold War. He focuses on the climate of secrecy and suspicion that fostered the deception and wrongdoing he has spent a career investigating and exposing. Brodeur crosses swords with the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the State Department; tangles with greedy corporate officials, callous industry physicians, dishonest bureaucrats, corrupt consultants, and hypocritical politicians; and is befriended and helped by some of the nation's leading scientists and medical researchers. The result is a compelling narrative that takes issue with much of the Cold War's self-congratulatory mythology and its disturbing legacy that too often allows individual freedom to be curtailed in the name of national security.

This monumental work, complete here in one volume, undertakes to determine scientifically what distinctive personality traits characterize the phenomenon of prejudice. The authors' purpose is to discover the social psychological factors which have made it possible for the authoritarian type of man - a new concept of an "anthropological" species - to threaten the survival of the individualistic and democratic type prevalent in the past century and a half of our civilization. The book mobilizes the skills of the different branches of the social sciences in one common research program. Experts in the fields of social theory and depth psychology, depth analysis, clinical psychology, political sociology and projective testing have pooled their methods and resources. Working in the closest cooperation, they here present a detailed picture of the authoritarian type of man. By isolating the destructive germ of the authoritarian personality, the book lays a major foundation for long-range attack upon the anti-democratic forces in modern society. (from the back cover.)
