The Man Who Sold Tomorrow: The True Story of Dr. Solomon Trone The World’s Greatest & Most Successful & Perhaps Only Revolutionary Salesman
Following Solomon Trone into the heart of the conspiracies of the last century, this book traces the story of a simple businessman, leading a sedate life in upstate New York, who was thrown into a Cold War nightmare filled with assassination, secret agents, revolution, and danger. Of particular interest to skeptics of the establishment who lived through the Cold War, this story of deep-seated corruption will also appeal to millennials interested in political action but cynical about the two-party ideologies passed down the generations. Referencing documentation that many people have died to keep secret, this book gives readers a compelling reason to question assumptions of anyone with staunch political beliefs.

This is Antony Sutton but this time with facts. The new files from the St. Petersburg Archives show that the State Department, General Electric, JP Morgan and the Bolsheviks were all working together. Its not only new material but it stands the whole history on its head.
The book is a page turner but it does also have a fair amount of detail. I enjoyed it.

Well that changes everything. I received an advanced copy of this. It seems the Russian Revolution may not have been so Russian or Revolutionary after all. In truth this book is not so much ground breaking as providing perspective from historical distance.
There is nothing here that anyone would disagree with or not figure that this is the most probable way it happened. The evidence from the Russian archives and GE's employees bare out the simple use of the USA as a model for industrialization. They borrowed money, equipment, ideas and personnel. At bottom when you remove the Cold War and the Revolutionary propaganda what occurred and what they wanted to occur was very simple. This book shows exactly how simple and everyday needs of economic development got entangled many times over in high politics and lost in the rhetoric of Politics.
All of that and its a biography! Trone is one of the exceptional figures of history, although very unknown. No one can walk away from this book without a sense of gratitude to Trone for his humanitarian efforts, and at the same time wonder at his motivation and determination when others had given up.
No its good book, but very much just a start on real history, as opposed to the fabric of ideology that covers what has been common understanding.

Great read. Couldn't put it down. Great research. Not sure if its the story or interesting facts he uncovers.

Strange but true, what started out as an advertising gimmick by GE eventually morphed into an actual plan that redesigned Russia. This book is a biography of the man critical to this development, Dr. Solomon Trone. The story is one of understanding the history of a century in a lifetime. The man died at 97 in London.
The Bolsheviks made an agreement with GE in September 1917. This agreement shaped the nature of the Revolution and by extension the industrialization and political structure of the Soviet Union.
Often the Soviet State was seen as antithetical to what revolutionaries of the 19th century wanted. This book explains why.
The subject of the book is the development of GE's involvement in Russia from 1916 and then into the years of the Soviet Union. What were GE's motives? What did they offer? How political as well as economic was their motivation? These questions form the subject of the book. It then expands to look at the nature of agreement. Looking at the work of the man who brokered the deal, Dr. Solomon Trone the situation previously murky becomes clear.
The market for this book will be primarily the USA where its political history is upended. It affects how the Cold War, McCarthyism and America's 20th century foreign policy will be seen. The reach of the book however is global as it also deals with the industrial development plans of India, China and Israel where GE's or its agent Dr. Trone was heavily present.
You can either put this book in the Political, History, or the Biographies section of a book shop. The readership will be educated enough to know about what the Cold War and the Russian Revolution was at a very basic level, but even scholars who have spent a life time on these subjects will learn something new and important. However, you could easily see this book on a university undergraduate course on the Russian Revolution.
There is no other book that has the critical new material from the St. Petersburg Historical archives. This book shows that GE had representatives guiding the Electrification of the Soviet Union and the first two five year plans. This book will be referenced by most nearly all future serious books on the Russian Revolution.
This book fills the gap on why the Soviet Union developed the way it did as a technocratic society. This eliminates the speculations of such writers as Castoriadas. Why was it technocratic? Because GE plans were fundamental to its development. It’s a bold statement but the book adequately supports it.
