Stanton Evans. This is history as it was, not as it is taught by the winners of the Civil War. First published by Times Books in 1979, The Secret Six elicited the following comments (among others): "The author's thesis is that John Brown and the cabal of eminent Massachusetts clergymen, literati and wealthy businessmen, the Secret Six, who encouraged and financed him were pioneers in a use of terror that in our day has come to plague the world: the idea that killing even innocent people is moral if it serves a greater good." The New Yorker "Scott's accomplishment is considerable, and worth studying, not only as a signal contribution to the bibliography of terrorism, but as a vivid and penetrating account of an awful phase of our history." Norman Corwin in The Los Angeles Times "Thanks to Otto Scott's energetic and intricate account of past delusions of righteous grandeur, terrorism may not in the future be so easy to rationalize away." Dr. And there should be some reassessment of the famous Northern abolitionists who made mad Brown their tool." Russell Kirk. Third Edition, Uncommon Books, Seattle, Wash., 1993, as The Secret Six: John Brown and the Abolitionist Movement.) Unlike previous biographies of John Brown, this is the first to look at the rich men who funded his attack on Harper's Ferry. In the process, antebellum New England takes on a new and more interesti
OTTO SCOTT or EDWARD RENEHAN VERSION OF THIS HISTORY? .Oddly, there are two books on Amazon with the same title: THE SECRET SIX. I wonder how that happened?A number of scathing reviews on the OTTO SCOTT version make the obnoxious comment that Scott "is not a historian".Anyone who knows how the "historian" business works in the USA should be very happy that non-historians such as OTTO SCOTT, TOM DILORENZO, JEFFREY ROGERS HUMMEL, CHARLES ADAMS & MILDRED LEWIS RUTHERFORD have chosen to write about the American history covered in both of these books. Don't let the chihuahuas and pismires dissuade you from reading these great authors by barking: ". "racist pulp journalism" according to Chollatech. Racist and anti-abolitionist diatribes ruin what could have been an excellent story. The writing is quick-paced, and reads like Tom Clancy,(for good or ill) particularly with his ability to weave several plot threads together and build them towards the inevitable climax at Harper's Ferry. I'm trying to learn more about the secret six, but all this book did was point out how history has been rewritten by the losers - the confederates. Slavery was the fault of John Brown and the people of Boston? I don't think so.. Robert N. Akers said Scofield and his Amazing Book, by Joseph Canfield. This was a very interesting read. Mr. Scott collected much information about John Brown and those who seemed to egg him on in his pursuit of creating racial war. It moves from the politicians in the states to Washington and to Boston where The Secret Six, influenced by the Transcendetalist in Europe sent their influence and ideology to the U.S. for the purposes of the international banksters. I was directed to this book by reading another, C.I. Scofield and his Amazing Book, by Joseph Canfield, which I read to get some insight into Scofield, as I grew concerned and more convinced that Disp

"Its vast gallery of characters ranges from Fourier to Julia Ward Howe and includes the Alcotts, Emerson, Thoreau, Whittier, Carlyle, Wordsworth, and Victor Hugo on the belletristic side; Frederick Douglass, Sumner, Garrison, Phillips, Channing, and Greeley among the explicit abolitionists; Polk, Van Buren, Lincoln, Stephen Douglas, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. B. And, of course, there are the six themselves, of whom Emerson's disciple Theodore Parker is best known to modern readers." "The author ties all these notables together in a skillful narrative that drives home the central thesis: the derangement of John Brown in the realm of political action resulted from a prior derangementof Brown and othersin the realm of theology. John Brown has his counterparts in the modern-day terroristthe FALN, the PLO, the SLAwho attack the innocent in order to remedy the alleged evils of society. Lee, and J. But it is not equall
