“Lucidly written, widely informed, and uncompromisingly honest-- a valuable expose.” —Michael Parenti “Documents the stunning success of a network of wealthy donors and corporations in creating and sustaining a set of think tanks, legal action groups, and media strategies.” —Gary Orfield, Harvard University “The authors claim that, by encouraging and manipulating the insecurity caused by technological advances and globalization, the New Right has created a powerful populist movement based on fear. The structure of the movement is carefully documented with an analysis of the journalists, media outlets, and think tanks that promulgate this message. A good addition for academic and public libraries with political collections.” — Library Journal
