Book Puts Spotlight on Shadowy ITT World
Washington AP reports Anthony Sampson surveys ITT in a new book The Sovereign State of ITT. It portrays ITT as a vast empire with 70 countries of operations, its own spy network and diplomacy, and claims of influence over U.S. officials and antitrust matters. The book cites World War II ties to Germany, Chilean efforts to block Allende, Hartford merger lobbying, and the role of Harold Geneen as ITT’s central authority.
