Chapter 35Kissinger and the Round TableHenry Kissinger played a significant role in helping execute Churchill’s plan to play off the Americans against the Communists. Kissinger had been well-trained for this role by his Harvard mentor William Yandell Elliott (1896-1979), an American historian and political scientist who was one of the early leaders of the Round Table Movement. “Whatever I have achieved, I owe importantly to his inspiration,” Kissinger later wrote of Elliott.
In his 2012 book New World Order: A Strategy of Imperialism, Sean Stone reveals the surprising extent of Elliott’s influence on Kissinger. As an Oxford graduate and one of the original US Round Table members, Elliott acted, for decades, as an agent of British influence in Washington. He was a behind-the-scenes kingmaker who advised six US presidents. Around 1951, Elliott recruited Kissinger into the newly-formed CIA.
However, both men cultivated relationships with the British government that arguably conflicted with their loyalties as US intelligence officers.
British Agent of Influence Elliot’s connection with the British establishment dated back to 1919-1923, when he earned his doctorate at Balliol College, Oxford. There he was recruited into Milner’s Round Table Group. “[M]embers of the Round Table practically ran the college in the early 20th century,” notes Stone. Elliott’s Oxford mentor, Alexander Dunlop Lindsay, was a close friend of Round Table founder Alfred Milner.
Through his work with the Round Table, Elliott developed close ties with British intelligence, going so far as to engage, in the run-up to World War II, in British operations targeting US citizens deemed to be opponents of the war. At Harvard, Elliott taught Kissinger to see the world through British eyes. Many things about America displeased the Round Tablers. What they found most infuriating was America’s independence, its ability to do as it liked, without regard for the wishes of foreign powers. The Round Tablers had never forgiven the US Senate for rejecting the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson had promised the Round Table he would join the League, but the US Senate had overruled him. Clearly the Senate had too much power, the Round Tablers concluded. Elliott dutifully sought to remedy this problem. In 1935, he wrote an influential book called The Need for Constitutional Reform calling for an all-powerful US presidency able to make treaties without Senate approval.
