Review:

"A bombshell. One of those rare instances in which someone deeply entrenched in our governmental/corporate imperialist structure has come forward to reveal in unequivocal terms its inner workings. A work of great insight and moral courage."
--John E. Mack, Harvard professor and Pulitzer prize-winning author of A Prince of Our Disorder: The Life of T. E. Lawrence

"Perkins combines the brilliance and suspense of a Graham Greene thriller with the authority of his insider vantage point to tell a true, powerful, revealing, and bone chilling personal story that names names and connects the dots . . . "
--David Korten, author of the bestselling When Corporations Rule the World

"A stunning and groundbreaking book that is a must-read for anyone who cares about our world."
--Lynne Twist, Global Activist, author of the bestselling The Soul of Money

..". provocative and disturbing.... This book succeeds as a wake up call because the reader cannot help but assess his or her role on a personal level, thus providing an impetus for change."
--R. Paul Shaw, former Lead Economist, currently Program Adviser, Human Development Group, World Bank Institute

--Josh Mailman, cofounder, The Threshold Foundation, Social Venture Network, and Business for Social Responsibility
