Review:
"A brave, much-needed book" (Guardian)
"I fully support this book's profound and Blake-like charge, which is laid not just against the mere farmers and the agricultural community, but against our whole society" (John Fowles The Sunday Times)
"A scathing attack... He explodes the myth of cheap food with a few simple statistics that even the dimmest politician should be able to grasp, and shows rural Britain devastated by the politics of unthinking subsidy" (New Statesman)
"A modern Grapes of Wrath... I have seldom read a more meticulous and devastating case for the prosecution" (The Times)
"Absolute dynamite... It's so invigorating to hear the case for truly sustainable, countryside-friendly agriculture mappd out so passionately" (BBC Wildlife)
