This book is very well organized and, while big, has summaries for each chapter that allow quick comprehension of the subjects, like a study with its own Cliff Notes. Then if you want verification, you have the full details handy. I only wish I could get this on my Kindle!

G.Edward Griffin gives an accurate past to future overview of the most secretive and elusive organization in the United States. I am a student and I read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" for reference on my final. The knowledge I attained is immeasurable. This book is about 600 pages, it is easy to read and Griffin provides a general summary at the close of each chapter. If you ever wondered why the U.S Congress seems so powerless at congressional hearings with chairman Bernacke, you must read this book. After reading this book you will look at the way our government conducts itself in totally different manner.

This book is a history book, a finance book and a political overview of the United States economic system. Anyone that has doubts that we are not controlled by a few wealthy individuals should read this lengthy, but gripping book. It brings in to perspective the power behind war, economic cycles and political influence.

I can't say enough about this book by G. Edward Griffin. I stumbled on it online a few years ago when I began to be aware that this country was in big trouble. It was a gnawing, undefined feeling that was in search of realization. It was a feeling that I wasn't getting the truth from the mainstream media...or, from anyone else for that matter. A feeling that things were spinning out of control and we were all just busily arranging the silverware in our guest rooms on the Titanic.
Well, guess what? I wasn't wrong. We are sinking. And if you'd like a primer or jumping-off point for discovering how we got into this mess, I can think of no better place to start. Mr. Griffin writes with an ease and lucidity that make you not wonder, but understand, why these things haven't been explained in this manner before now; for if they were, the "jig," as they say, would be up.
The Fed is not the be-all and end-all of world corruption...but it ain't a half-bad place to start. You'll be amazed at what you'll find as you wind your way down the rabbit hole. Hold onto your hats and fasten your safety belts, cause it only gets worse.
I hate to say that I feel it may be too late for this country to right the wrongs that are leading to our demise, but even if that is the case, it is prudent to know your enemy. I think it may have been Michael Corleone of "Godfather" fame who said, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." Read, study, know your enemies. Believe me, they know you.
