Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Kate Coleman has written a gripping book about Judi Bari, and has lifted the curtain on the cultish Earth First! group of left-wing radical environmentalists that she led on California's North Coast. Coleman's investigative ability enabled her to get to the facts of the matter, doing a fine job of following threads, looking up people, and digging through records to get the whole picture. It hardly matters that her investigation was stonewalled by Bari's inner circle, the facts still have been revealed. Despite the howl of controversy that has erupted against this book, it is a solid work of investigative journalism and a gripping read.
