I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Lots of detail and description and there was no blame game on the authors part ( he just told it how it happened ). Good book, not 15.00 good which is my only complaint :-)

This book is a must read. This should be read by ever person on the planet. There is so much corroborated information that I think it is FACT.  This corruption hasn't ended I'm sure its worse now.

Lot of good investigative work. I was amazed at the clarity of the connections between the Clintons, their foundation and the state department actions - rampant corruption exposed. Well written and well sourced.

This is a very good book.  I liked how all different sorts of con artists were discussed.  My only quibble is that near the end, the authors fall for the biggest con of all, the blue team versus red team false dichotomy.  On page 228, they write that "The political strategy for fixing the U.S. economy between 2009 and 2013 followed the Republican playbook:  favoring economic austerity (reduced spending in order to reduce the deficit) and lowered regulations (so the wealthy can increase their wealth), in hopes that this will create jobs."  This runs directly counter to the actual facts.  U.S. gov't spending from 2009 to 2013 was as follows, in trillions of dollars each year: 3.515, 3.456, 3.603, 3.537 and 3.455.  And, mind you the first of those years included the one time and justly infamous TARP spending of $800 billion.  Yet the budget remained the same even after the emergency was supposedly over.  This is only austerity if *you* have bought into a con.

This comes off as too critical.  It's a fascinating book.  I'm just amazed that the authors analyzed all those different cons then fell for the biggest, dumbest one out there, the red team versus blue team one.

Good book, very interesting.  It has a lot of good information that is not useful for the average person.  It also has very good information about how to prevent criminals (or spies) performing the skills described in the book against you, or, at least make you aware about vulnerabilities in your own life.

This is a very well thought through book that deals with the multitude of complexities that go with greed whilst at the same time professing to serve the very poor in the World.

The book goes into great lengths to highlight and prove the inequalities within the MicroFinance sector that will destroy itself if it does not revert to basic standard financial disciplines where integrity is of paramount importance ,transparency vital and rigorous monitoring or regulation are essential.

A number of these (sometimes wicked people) are behaving in such unscrupulous  ways that make me ...a humle investor...sick and reviled by their behaviour under the auspices of reducing the numbers on the  poor list,whilst lining their own pockets.

Well done ...well written....well proven......let's hope something very positive results from this brilliant book.

The book was very good and detailed. I liked the part where a federal judge in san diego sealed the report on Brian Terrys death and then "comically" sealed the reason he sealed it. Obama and anyone else involved in gunrunning should be in prison for 300 counts of accesory to murder. Holder releases blacked out papers about operation then claims how much he has cooperated. Can you imagine average slob citizen trying to hide criminal behavior by claiming the usual national security and sensitive info excuse like govt? I would like to send my condolences to familys of brian terry and jaime zapata plus the hundreds of mexicans who were murdered with complicity of our vicious President and AG. Obama and Holder will stand before the Creator of Universe someday w/o corrupt judges and fed govt to shield them from Justice.

Very good book ,on history of some of the REAL far left groups ,
and their formations from, circles ,  movements and struggles of the 60s and 70s!
Shows WHY the US  Govt was so worried about these politics  why/how , they flouted- -as usual-, their own do called
democracy and laws to sabotoge, debilitate, paralyze , and lay traps even for 'legal'  socialist political action
 of marxist /communist groups who  were serious about trying to build a new society

Book reveals some of the key  political issues involved also , not just the technics of  dirty work of FBI, etc .
A lot of good lessons should be gleaned from this real experience of what back  then totaled some
quaiet a few thousands of militants, workers, etc in the USA.
Worth  the price for sure!

One of the best explanations to the fraud and corruption on Wall Street that I have read in a really long time. Unfortunately, the fraud and corruption is now considered just the way things are, and the politicians in Washington, with few exceptions, go along with this plundering of our economy to benefit the very wealthy, the 1%. Hudson does an excellent job of examining how we got to this point in our crumbling democracy. Sometimes a hard read for those of us not schooled in the morass of economics that pervades our lives, but with patience and re-reading it will be clear, that his message is the rich are screwing us common folk and the politicians are assisting them in this Robin Hood in reverse economy.

Good book, Explains frustrations with Command infrastructure, and treatment of enemy as if they were normal citizens. Very disturbing, our soldiers deserve better.

Great book, very informative. Only negative is learning how corrupt and deceitful the government was/is/will be if the people of this country don't wake up and pull their heads out. Also, when you learn about the lend lease program you'll be scratching your head as to how Russia is and has been so unappreciative.

Terrific book, very well written, great plot, and fantastic ending. Sadly so much of it is real with politics still  so corrupt. A new senator or house member doesn't stand a chance in Washington.  Hopefully it will change in the future.

This book summarizes a careful and diligent analysis of the underlying corruption of our political system.  We no longer have "one man, one vote".  Instead, campaign fund contributors and lobbyists who consolidate/package these funds are able to shape both the agenda of congress and pursue their own ends.  Our congressmen, the author asserts, spend a good deal of each and every day working to raise campaign funds and address the needs of their contributors.  Have you ever tried to talk directly with your own congressman?  The result is a fatal corruption of the political system which threatens our very existence.  Special interests on both sides of the aisle have disproportionate influence and little incentive to resolve issues.  Where there are issues to resolve, there is money to promote a particular point of view.  Why would Congress want to resolve the problems that bring them money?  Author carefully develops his hypothesis of corruption and then crafts options to address this problem.  This book is well worth your time.  At the very least your thinking will be stimulated and you will be better informed regarding the lobbying process and its results.  Don't miss it!!  Inform yourself.

Very good and detailed book. Teri Crawford tells about all the cover ups and lies surrounding the tri state crematorium case. Bodies are everywhere and many bodies where identified with the wrong name. Lots of screwups happened. As teri looks for the body of her brother she ,uncovers many secrets about this case. The bad history of this crime goes back to Brent Marshes father. Good read. I suggest this book to anyone who wishes to learn about the Tri-State Crematory horrors.
