There's a really great book to be written along the lines of this one: a catalog of the people, companies, and organizations that "run" the world, and about which most of us know too little. Sadly, Melissa Rossi did not write it. As noted by other reviewers, Rossi is strongly biased--the book is little more than an excuse to savage George W. Bush and anyone associated with him. Even so, Rossi could have written an interesting and useful book along those lines if she had carefully researched her topic. Instead, we get a mish-mash of half-truths and thinly-veiled conspiracy theories. I will never waste my money on another of her books.

I'm not aware of another book that tries to do what this one claims to do and succeeds. But Russ Kick's books Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies, 100 Things You're Not Supposed to Know, You Are STILL Being Lied To: The NEW Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths, and others are at least worth a look.

Interesting read. I'm guessing that the author is paranoid and a liberal. I'm reasonable sure that a conservative author would find things to be paranoid about with liberal groups that really run the world as well. ( )

Amazing book. Covers everything from the religious right to the neoconservatives to Big Pharma, to oil companies, water companies, Haliburton,, Bechtel, and more Very eye-opening. ( )

Truly frightening and very important if just a tad superficial in its coverage. I found the information about the water infrastructure and the defense contracting industry truly interesting. ( )

The United States is the world's lone superpower, with military muscle unmatched by any other country and a tendency to impose its will in all corners of the planet—we're even trying to dominate outer space.
