Quote: John D. Rockefeller is considered to be the wealthiest American of all time, earning his immense fortune after gaining control of 90 percent of American oil production in the late 1800s. The oil industry tycoon and his family became a political and financial dynasty, and remain one of the most powerful families in the world today. The Rockefeller File offers a critical look into the lives -- and secrets -- of the controversial family behind the colossal fortune. The shocking, true story was written by Gary Allen almost 30 years ago, yet still garners acclaim for being one of the most in-depth scrutinies of the House of Rockefeller.


As Lawrence P. McDonald, Member of Congress, writes in the book's introduction: "Enough books have been written about the Rockefellers to fill a library... And to my knowledge, not one has dared reveal the most vital part of the Rockefeller story: that the Rockefellers and their allies have, for at least fifty years, been carefully following a plan to use their economic power to gain political control of first America, and then the rest of the world."


Gary Allen, an American conservative journalist, discusses the family's abuse of great wealth and power, diving deep into the lives of the Rockefeller individuals and their allies. In the second chapter, Allen cites John D.'s father, William, as a "bigamist, horse thief and child molester". He allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl, then deserted his wife and children to marry a 20-year-old. Circulating themes of wealth, power, government and socialism, the must-read gives an unconventional analysis that may change your perception on the Rockefellers and other families of similar status and backgrounds. As McDonald concedes, "The picture that is revealed when The Rockefeller File is finally opened may shock you." Check out the book here.
