Antony C Sutton gave an interview back in 1980 discussing his research
on the funding of World War II, when American and European financiers
were funding both the Nazi party and the communists.
Sutton was
an economics professor at California State University, Los Angeles and a
research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution from 1968
to 1973.
In 1973, Sutton published a popularized, condensed
version of the three volumes called National Suicide: Military Aid to
the Soviet Union and was thereby forced out of the Hoover Institution.
His conclusion from his research on the issue was that the conflicts of
the Cold War were "not fought to restrain communism", since the United
States, through financing the Soviet Union "directly or indirectly armed
both sides in at least Korea and Vietnam"; rather, these wars were
organised in order "to generate multibillion-dollar armaments contracts"
For
impressive evidence of Western participation in the early phase of
Soviet economic growth, see Antony C. Sutton's Western Technology and
Soviet Economic Development: 1917--1930, which argues that 'Soviet
economic development for 1917--1930 was essentially dependent on Western
technological aid' (p.283), and that 'at least 95 per cent of the
industrial structure received this assistance.' (p. 348).
Sutton died June 17, 2002 at the age of 77.
