Harvest of Rage
by Joel DyerIn its September 1997 issue, Soldier of Fortune Magazine suggested reading "Harvest of Rage" might be an appropriate and timely wake-up call for the Clinton Administration. In this book, Rocky Mountain News editor Joel Dyer through interviews and seemingly well-documented research describes the antigovernment movement in America today. Dyer dispells the myth that antigovernment movement members are rabid beer-swilling Bubus, and ably places the development of the movement in perspective in terms of the Farm Crisis, Federal Reserve policy, and the increased domination of agriculture by the multinational agribusiness concerns. Though Dyer may have his own agenda, the book presents the reality of the antigovernment movement's actions as well as the forces operating on the people involved.
