Perhaps a bit dated since it was written in 2006, but you can easily see the same approach being used in 2020. At the very least it provides excellent background for how we got to where we are today.

This book although frightening is a must read-what an enlightenment about George Soros and his running of the corrupt Democratic Party . And the evil and corrupt Clinton’s. More Americans need to read this!

I expected more out of David Horwitz book. Although, it was a good read, I wouldn't call it great. Plus, it was dry in parts.

This book should be required reading for anyone, especially college students, concerned about the fate of our country. Our freedom may depend upon it. This is no conspiracy theory. George Soros and the far left liberals, communists and socialists are working to destroy America. Today's Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party of our parents. My father, a life long Democrat, would not recognize today's Democratic Party.

One can only conclude that Geo. Soros is an evil man. He has ruined what good was in the Democratic party and the unions. Soros had AFL-CIO Pres. Kirkland ousted after Kirkland assisted Walesa in bringing down the communist oppression of the Polish shipyard workers. Book outlines Harold Ickes mob & Hillary connections.

This book was published in 2006 but it’s not as dated as you might think. The universal message, I believe, is don’t take anything on face value. Think for yourself. Read widely and read different points of view. Read history. Challenge leaders and spokespeople. Ask the source of funding. Dig to discover unpublicized alliances. In a restaurant, I was reading while I ate. The waitress asked what I was reading. “Foreign policy,” I said. Her eyes got as big as the saucer holding my coffee. “Wow!” she giggled. “That’s different.” Pretty sure she didn’t know what that even was. But she is old enough to vote.

This book explains and puts in context many recent national and international events and the ultimate goals of those who are directing them. The scale of this "organization" is daunting, and Horowitz and Poe have served a valuable purpose in pulling back the curtain: exposing these people is probably the only way to stop them. A valuable but not very happy read.

This is an excellent book and should be required reading by every American.

The hidden arrangements of self-serving organizations

The Shadow Party is a network of private organizations that exercises a powerful hidden influence over the Democratic Party to promote its liberal and progressive ideals. It is not a political party per se, and it works outside of the normal electoral system, and its goals are not explicitly disclosed. These hidden arrangements; the decisions of George Soros and other major donors to fund various liberal organizations, and this Shadow Party was formed in November 2003, one year ahead of crucial 2004 Presidential elections.

The book cites many examples of illegal coordination between political campaigns and independent political committees. Hillary Clinton and her partner George Soros remain secretive about many details of their collaboration. A political partnership between them would be forbidden by the campaign finance laws of the McCain-Feingold Act. According to data on file with the Capital Research Center, the Foundation Center, and the Internal Revenue Service, Soros' Institute contributed nearly $19 million to the ACLU during the seven-year period spanning 1998 to 2004 (about $2.7 million/year). ACLU is notorious radical organization in defending the rights of Islamic terrorists, radical Islamic organizations in United States and many liberal institutions. Recently, the New York City jury acquitted alleged Al Qaeda accomplice Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani of all major terrorism charges in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in the first trial of a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner in the civilian court. A war criminal that never set foot in United Sates was tried under U.S. criminal law. The Soros-linked Constitution Project already declared, "The system worked here." Did it? In all likelihood, the convicted terrorist may be released after 20 years. Canadian Conservative commentator Kathy Shaidle is threatened with a lawsuit by Soros' Canadian counsel for referencing and excerpting from an article in the Toronto Sun which claimed that George Soros, as a teenager in his native land of Hungary, "collaborated with the Nazis," she revised her post later but a left-wing organization supported by the George Soros- funded MoveOn.org, is taking frontline to suppress free speech. Tony Blankley, editor of The Washington Times and former aide to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich once said of Soros: "He was a Jew who figured out a way to survive the Holocaust."

George Soros blames Israeli policies for the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe; his Open Society Institute (OSI) has published its Muslims in Europe report series that depicts Muslims living in Europe as victims of racism, discrimination, stereotypes, prejudice etc. Consistent with Soros' dislike for national sovereignty, the OSI report recommends changing the definitions of nationality to accommodate Islamic immigrants and extending voting rights to non-citizens. Even Glenn Beck has commented on the heavy handedness of George Soros. This self-hating Jew is using his wealth and influence to try and change the world to fit his lunatic fantasies.

Much of the work published in this book also appeared in May 2004 article in NewsMax Magazine, "George Soros' Coup" and later a lengthy three-part series published in October 2004 on FrontPageMag.com, under the title "The Shadow Party." Anyone who is interested in the conservative and traditional values would love this book.
