DAVID TALBOT
Founded in 1981 by an elite group of Republican operatives, evangelicals, oil barons, and gun lobbyists, the Council for National Policy has become a strategic nerve center for channeling money and mobilizing votes. Its secretive membership rolls represent a high-powered roster of fundamentalists, oligarchs, and their allies. In her riveting book Shadow Network, award-winning author Anne Nelson chronicles this astonishing history with extensive research. She traces how the collapse of local journalism laid the foundation for the Council for National Policy's information war and on the hardline broadcasting its members control. Her in-depth knowledge of the dangers we are up against in retaining our democracy is second to none and every informed citizen should have this information.
