Two encyclopedia bibliographies list Antony (Anthony) C. Sutton as the author of Technological Treason: A Catalog of U.S. Firms with Soviet Contracts, 1917–1982 (Research Publications, 1982), matching the claim's title and dates. The sources are low-credibility Wikipedia pages, so the support is modest, but nothing contradicts it and the claim faithfully reflects the passage.

What was said

… The Reds were really a tool in their hands. I discovered this through the work of Anthony Sutton, in particular, a book published by the Hoover Institution, Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development from 1945 to 1965, and then his other one, Technological Treason: A Catalogue of U.S. Firms with Soviet Contracts from 1917 to 1982.

What we found

Supports. The English Wikipedia entry for Antony C. Sutton lists 'Technological Treason: A Catalog of U.S. Firms with Soviet Contracts, 1917–1982' (Phoenix, Ariz.: Research Publications, 1982) in his bibliography.[2]

Supports. The Portuguese Wikipedia entry for Antony Cyril Sutton also lists 'Technological Treason: A catalog of U.S. firms with Soviet contracts, 1917-1982' (1982) among his books.[3]

Context. A full-text archive copy of Sutton's 'The Best Enemy Money Can Buy' discusses U.S. companies trading technology with the Soviet Union, the same subject as Technological Treason, though it does not name the book.[4]

Context. The ECU library catalog entry is for Sutton's 'Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development,' a different book, so it neither confirms nor refutes the Technological Treason attribution.[1]

Context. The claim's spelling 'Anthony' versus the sources' 'Antony' refers to the same author, and 'Catalogue' versus 'Catalog' is a trivial variant. The extraction matches the post's wording.[2][3]
