Robert Knight is a talented writer, a personal friend, and a good man. These facts led me to keep reading through part one, which felt with 13 years' hindsight rather too much like the ill-founded anti-Obama alarmism that fueled far-right hysteria and saddled us with Trump. Part two, which focuses on Obama's cabinet and administrative appointees, was far more interesting and useful, and I found myself wishing that Knight would write a similar expose of Trump's senior campaign staff and executive appointments.
The main drawback here is that this is a watchdog book. It doesn't try to make a case for the political perspective Knight assumes he shares with readers, nor against the political philosophies espoused by the "radical rulers" he's spotlighting. Books like this help inform, but they don't persuade. Knight relies on the reader to bring preformed opinions on economic socialism, social progressivism, scope of government, and moral order. He makes no effort to paint his targets' positions in the best possible light, then explain why those positions are wrong, dangerous, or inadequate - no effort, in other words, to present an argument.
Interesting information, well-presented. Highly partisan. If that's what you want, this is the right book.

Fear - anti-Obama "They" -vs- "Us"
Conspiracy Theories''s mother load of mis-information.
Written like 4th grade level scary-monster book with brown people as hidden agenda.
