Commenting that the present era seems like a chapter out of Orwell's 1984, the author of What Every American Should Know About the Rest of the World profiles US power brokers, "professional alarmists," and other rogues. Targets of Rossi's indignation include the Christian Right, the FDA, and our addiction to oil. She lists ways for citizens to fight back.
