Guido Preparata's website

[Peter Presland]

The great weakness of Preparata's Conjuring Hitler is the extent to which it downplays the US establishment's involvement in the watercolourist's rise. The US elite were anything but the dupes and playthings of the British clubs:

Paul,

I hadn't noticed any 'playing down' of US establishment involvement in Churchill's rise. Neglect maybe, but that's probably because it was hardly a determining factor - except in its very late stages and he is as thorough as any author I have read in his coverage of US corporate involvement with rebuilding German industry between the wars and well into WWII. Neither does he characterise the US elite as "the dupes and playthings of the British clubs", so far as I have noticed anyway. Rather he refers to the "Anglo-American fraternities" which leaves room for fairly wide interpretation but IMO is an accurate and illuminating way of describing the relationship between 'Deep-State' arbiters of both countries throughout the 20th century.

Where Preparata is guilty of 'playing down' - again IMHO - is in his treatment of specific occult Jewish interests and influences on both countries throughout the period - and especially in his tip-toeing around "The Holocaust". That's no damning criticism either because one can hardly expect to take on both the received Anglo-US official narrative of the period AND question any one of the three sacred tenets on The Holocaust, and emerge from the undertaking with your academic career intact. He's already been blackballed fairly thoroughly for the first of those sins; I doubt he would have survived both.
