Summary note
"In these pages, a line-up of investigative reporters, media critics, independent researchers, academics, ex-government agents, and other experts blows away the smoke and smashes the mirrors that keep us confused and misinformed.".
"You'll learn disturbing hidden facts about the diamond trade, child protective services, government-sponsored anti-drug ads, the Orwellian PATRIOT Act, fluoridation, the Resurrection story, Mormon racism, the CIA's nuclear dreams, the malleable definition of "terrorism," the forgotten personal lives of great scientists, the murky death of a leading microbiologist, and much more."--BOOK JACKET.
