The shocking revelations in this book are fully documented by the author, often using direct quotes from Al Gore and other hard-core environmentalists. The book is not just the opinion of one man, but is instead an academically solid piece of work, written in a very readable style. Without the documentation that is provided throughout the book, I would have found it hard to believe and may have dismissed it. Coffman also goes to great lengths to present both sides of the issues, and that makes the content and conclusions even more sobering. A real page-turner, but, unfortunately, not fiction.

Filled with information and extremely well documented this book will answer many questions for anyone now living in an enviornmentally sensitive area who is questioning if our constitution simply no longer applies. Before one commits to an eviornmental group this should be mandatory reading. For anyone interested in a free United States it is also not to be missed. I can not stress it enough that this is a very important book.

This book is a must-read if you're an environmentalist or care at all about the U.S. economy and/or the injustice system there. Even though the book was written during the Clinton administration, it still gives a very vivid (and therefore disturbing) picture of what is happening in the environmental movement and how it has influenced the U.S. psyche. This book unveils the lies in the mantras that we've been taught in school and through media, and does so with some very specific facts and details. I wish deeply that Americans knew what was in this book. There's one quote that I think is chilling, but so important for us to understand, though I risk doing injustice to it by taking it out of the context of all the facts that back it up, "Most Americans are living in a world of illusion, participating in an agenda of which they have little knowledge. Democracy has slim chance for survival when its members base their decisions on illusion."

Coffman clearly documents the nature of the Environmental movement and how the public has been deceived. While no one doubts we have environmental problems, Coffman shows how our media with its advocacy journalism parrots environmental myths such as cataclysmic global warming and ozone holes supposedly caused by refrigerants. Far from crying wolf, Coffman clearly documents the agenda behind the environmental movement. The media has kept the public in the dark despite many thousands of scientists and Nobel Prize winners who have criticised environmental political decisions based on pseudoscience.

Dr. Coffman does a wonderful job of enlightening interested readers about the ugly mission and underpinnings of the environmental movement and how it has been sponsored by a liberal news media. His work is heavily researched and noted. His thoughts are clear and convincing. His conclusions are perceptive and compelling. A good read for those open and questioning minds among us.

Michael Coffman worked for the Forest Service and while he does not want to harm the environment, he is able point the biased views of the various environmental groups. In order to rise funding, many groups are forced to create distorted threats to mother earth.
