About this title

Review:

"Sniegoski . . . broadens the inquiry into many areas that desperately need sunshine and clarity."
--Philip Giraldi, former CIA officer and contributing editor, The American Conservative

" . . . a must read for anyone horrified by the disastrous course [neoconservatives] have set for U.S. policy."
--Kathy and Bill Christison, former CIA officials

"Sniegoski succeeds admirably in documenting the corrosive influence of the well-financed neoconservative lobby and its selling of a one-sided foreign policy to the Bush-Cheney administration."
--Rodrigue Tremblay, Ph.D., emeritus professor of economics and author of The New American Empire

" . . . required reading for all who wish to learn how American foreign policy has been hijacked, and who wish to reclaim it before it leads toanother Middle East catastrophe."
--James C. Russell, Ph.D., author of Breach of Faith: American Churches and the Immigration Crisis

" . . . devoted to saving the United States from an even worse mistake than its attack on Iraq. Patriots informed by this book will not be tricked into support of neocon war plans."
--Virginia Deane Abernethy, Ph.D., Professor Emerita of Psychiatry (Anthropology), Vanderbilt University School of Medicine

"[The] book contributes to an eventual [Iraq war] post mortem by laying out present-day politics that should be public knowledge."
--James Kalb, New York City lawyer and writer
