This is a condensed edition of Prof. Antony Sutton's groundbreaking expose of the Order of Skull and Bones, which has been excerpted directly from the original text. Most of the major points are included, although much detail has been omitted. Copies of the many rare source documents contained in the printed text are not duplicated.

Members of The Order are normally identified in the text by listing the year of their initiation in parenthesis after the name. For example: W. Averell Harriman (1913). Editor's notes are contained in brackets and footnotes.

A hardcopy 2nd edition of this book containing even more information, released shortly after the death of the author in 2002, is available from publisher Kris Millegan.

Here is an excerpt from an interview by Kris Millegan with Prof. Antony Sutton dated July, 1999:

KM: What do you see for the future?

AS: Chaos, confusion and ultimately a battle between the individual and the State. The individual is the stronger; and will win. The state is a fiction sanctified by Hegel and his followers to CONTROL the individual. Sooner or later people will wake up. First we have to dump the trap of right and left, this is a Hegelian trap to divide and control. The battle is not between right and left; it is between us and them...

What to do? Find yourself and then go to work...tell your friends and put out the message. The answer is within you.

In the spirit of Sutton's mandate, we are helping to "put out the message" that he has created.
