Sharon Baders book is a must for anyone trying to understand the way in which powerful corporate interests seek to undermine environmental groups and non government organisations. It shows the way "astro-turf" lobbying occurs, through the setting up of dummy "citizen greoups". For people trying to understand the growth of climate change denialism, it is a good introduction to how corporations distort scientific results. Paul and Anne Ehrlich's "Betrayal of Science and Reason", and Naomi Klein's "No Logo" are good companion books that fill the picture in more.
To anyone trying to understand the "forces" that activists face, this is a well researched and authoritative text.
