All the World's a Fair (Part 2 of 4)
🕑 Added 2021-01-03 07:18:53 +0000 UTCEdman and I are back with a new episode that I'm particularly pleased with. This is a far-reaching episode where we try to untangle the history of World Commerce Corporation, a Post-War company in which William Stephenson, William Donovan, Nelson Rockefeller, and Edward Stettinius Jr., among others, were all involved. WCC is discussed briefly in a number of books about Donovan and the OSS and the early years of the CIA, but no one has previously taken the time to investigate its purpose or activities thoroughly. Until now that is.
In Part Two we move into the 20th century, to the years leading up to WWI. We talk about trust companies, early US Corporate imperialism, the Peace Race, Colonel House, the beginnings of the Foreign Policy Establishment, and HOG ISLAND SHIPYARDS.
