About the Author: Otto Scott is a former journalist, editor, columnist, book reviewer, corporate executive, and author of ten books, all on different topics. Four are corporate histories: Ashland Oil, Black & Decker, Raytheon, and the Arch Mineral Corporation. He also wrote the biography of J. B. Saunders, a legendary petroleum marketing tycoon.

His political histories are equally varied. In addition to The Secret Six, he has written a history of the French Revolution up to the death of Robespierre, and a book about James I who sowed the seeds of the English Civil War the forerunner of our own War of Independence.

His major interests, therefore, are industrial and political. As his books most of which have been published by major New York publishers indicate, he is an expert on corporate management and pre-revolutionary periods.

Now in his eighty-first year, he continues as an author, essayist, book and film reviewer, and speaker who writes a monthly cultural journal (Otto Scott's Compass) and records his views twice a month on audio tape (Points of the Compass). In addition, he is an Associate Scholar for the American Council on Economics and Society, and member of the Philadelphia Society, John Randolph Society, Committee for Monetary Research and Education, Society of Professional Journalists, the Author's Guild, and the Overseas Press Club. He is the recipient of the George Washington Medal from the Freedom Foundation (1976) and the John Newman Edwards Media Award (1994).

His articles and essays have appeared in numerous publications, including the Los Angeles Times, San Diego Union, San Diego Tribune, Chronicles, Salisbury Review (London), Conservative Digest, Human Events, Tabletalk,, and Southern Partisan.

He has been a featured speaker at the Stanford Law School, the Sound Money Institute, the San Diego Legal Institute, the Committee for Monetary Research & Education, and many other groups here and abroad.
