This book focuses on the effort of a tiny socio-political American elite to gain control over the very basis of human survival: our daily bread. "Control the food and you control the people." It's no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader into the corridors of power, into the back rooms of labs, behind closed doors of corporate boardrooms. He cogently reveals a diabolical world of profit-driven political intrigue, government corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain control over food production worldwide.
