In preparing his Senior Thesis in American History at Princeton University, Sean Stone came across the name of William Yandell Elliott, Professor Emeritus of Politics at Harvard through the first half of the 20th century. Stone found that Elliott had created a virtual “kindergarten” of Anglo-American imperialists among his students, who included Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samuel P. Huntington, and McGeorge Bundy. Upon further investigation, Stone came to understand Elliott’s own integral role, as an advisor to six presidents, in connecting the modern national-security establishment with the British Round Table Movement’s design to re-incorporate America into the British “Empire.” Whether that goal has been achieved will be left to the reader to decide. But through this sweeping overview of world affairs, it cannot be denied that W.Y. Elliott’s life and intellectual history demonstrate the strong interlocking relationship between academia, government, big business and ... our future.
