As America's royal family of finance, the Rockefellers are this country's super capitalists. Or are they?The original John D. hated competition and the free enterprise system. He was ruthless monopolist who bought political influence to protect his economic empire. His descendants have carried his tactics worldwide.Gary Allen, author of the international best seller None Dare Call It Conspiracy, here reveals the shocking true story of the wealthiest, most powerful family in America.If there is one dynasty that wants to rule the world, it is the Rockefellers. And if there is one book about this dangerously ambitious family you must read, it is The Rockefeller File.

This is poetry that goes for the jugular. Allen's poetry is marked by its potent, dynamic syntax, and also by his storyteller's sensibility. Skillfully crafted in their shifting perspectives, there is a great verve and sense of surprise in his lines. He has a fantastic ability to swoop into vivid detail while keeping the poem sweeping onwards. This is tough, sometimes brutal poetry, but still singing, a rich and rough music, just right for our times.-Alan Gillis, poet & editor of the Edinburgh Review
