Smoots isn't the greatest writer I've ever read, but the story is so important that it should find it's way to everyone's bookcase. Most people believe that only kooks believe in a government within a government, but here is a former FBI agent that found exactly that.

Some will remember the IPR - China scandle that brought communism into China right after WWII. Those that don't will be educated on it. Those that do remember, we be taken down into the motives and reasons behind the actions of the IPR and the men that backed them.

Dan Smoot's "Invisble Government" sold about 1 million copies through self-publishing alone, but it did not appear on the New York Times "Best Sellers List" of 1962.

Essentially it is a book dealing with organization called The Council on Foreign Relations founded by Edward Mandel House, one of the Dullers brothers and others devoted to bringing "socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx.", to quote House, to this country.

The writing is dry but effective. I think that had he lived, Senator Joseph McCarthy might have written this book himself since the Council is one of groups that he was getting into his sights before Eisenhower stopped him.

What Dan Smoot revealed is how it'c control of the national medias is so pervasive that true and vital news seldom gets to the populace at large. For instance, current members of the CFR include: Dan Rather, Tom Browkaw, Charlene Hunter Gault, and many others we have intrusted to inform and protect us.

His anaylsis of it's goals bear close attention for those who are interested in anwering befuddling questions about U.S. foreign and domestic policies.

Over twenty six years later "The Shadows of Power" by James Perloff, brought the CFR up to date, and the report on how this subversive organization has not been dealt with is not good!

From what one may gather after reading "The Invisible Government" is how many lives have been ruined or lost in order to fulfill the dreams of a few determined to create a "New World Order". If you think this is only the stuff of Ian Flemming or H.G. Wells, this book goes a long way to prove otherwise.

Other books, and there are many, devoted to exposing suberversion in high places frequently mention the CFR and its offspring the Trilateral Commission. While the news tends to focus on people in particular, the infulence of the CFR is seldom given proper consideration, if at all.

Dan Smoot revealed how the CFR is clearly anti-American, pro-socialists, and in league with organizations and individuals hostile to our form of government and way of life and he provided ample documentation that still serves interested parties to this very day.

For an interview with the author about his book search the net for "Radio Liberty". This host, Dr. Stanley Monteith" managed to get an interview with Mr. Smoot revealing the travails he had in getting his book out.

Mr. Smoot has done an invaluable service. And it lifted the weight of confusion and mystery about what is and is not true about rescent history of the Unted States.
