This delves deeper into the history of the Kochs and their associates than either Dark Money or Democracy in Chains, neither of which touches on the outright racism that the Kochs were once allied with.

And still do when you look into the groups and extremist academics they fund through layers of fronts.

I would have appreciated footnotes with citations for many of the claims. It would be good to see this expanded into a full length book, incorporating the work UnKochMyCampus have done.

I just finished reading this book for the second time and appreciated it even more on the second reading. Although the title is terrible, the book provides an excellent history of the Libertarian movement and the influence it had on the thinking of Charles Koch. It is, however, a not very positive history of the movement describing some of the less impressive people that founded the movement and exposing the anti-Semitic roots of the early founders.

The book is strongly recommended for anybody who wants to better understand the Libertarian movement, the Tea Party of the Koch brothers. ( )
