description: The Biography of General Electric’s Bolshevik Agent.This biography tells the story of Solomon Trone, who outwitted powerful dictators, saved hundreds from the Nazi concentration camps, and evaded the FBI, CIA, Gestapo and Stalin’s Secret Service. This was the man who negotiated with the Bolsheviks on behalf of General Electric and J. P. Morgan Junior before the revolution of 1917. In doing so he created a conspiracy that would shape the course of the world for a century. The book follows Trone from the First World War, when he was an advisor to Lenin and a representative of GE, to his death in 1969 as an American exile and unrepentant revolutionary enemy of Capitalism.Once kept as a closely guarded state secret, buried in the archives of Russia and the United States, this story can for the first time be told. J. Edgar Hoover head of the FBI had hunted Trone for over forty years. He was stunned at the life of Trone and said, “This is an amazing story.” But even he was unable to capture him. Trone was able to escape time and again because he worked for both the Revolution and for the U.S. State Department. He was not a double agent; he worked for both in an unholy alliance that aimed at global power. Solomon Trone’s life was once a legend that could only be guessed at by academics and intelligence officers. Now with the help of new materials from the archives of Russia it is told for the first time.
