Cloak of Green: The Links between Key Environmental Groups, Government and Big Business [Hardcover]

"It is an intriging subject, and in light of the recent revelations about CARE Canada's questionable funding allocations, timely as well.

Cloak of Green is heavily researched, and this makes for heavy reading;

Perhaps the strongest chapter of the book is the one that documents Dewar's research into seven of Canada's best-known environmental groups.

Interesting points are raised about the environmental movement that deserve consideration by insiders and outsiders." (Stephanie Thorson Quill & Quire )

"Cloak of Green clearly demonstrates the author's ability as a reporter. Dewar gets under and behind the facade of celebrity fund raising and corporate sponsorship in the green camp... if you haven't been exposed to the duplicity inherent in political movements or charitable causes, read it." (Jess Huffman Lethbridge Herald )

"The story Dewar tells is an important one, not just environmentally but politically as well." (Bronwyn Drainie Globe and Mail )

"This is a must-read for anyone interested in environmentalism and the "global government" movement... Cloak of Green is truly honest reporting of a threatening future." (Joe Woodard Alberta (Western) Report )

"This is a must-read for anyone interested in enviromentalism and the "global enviroment" movement...this account of [the author's] determined four-year journey through enviromentalism is a triumph of truth over ideology.

Cloak of Green is truly honest reporting of a threatening future." (Joe Woodard BC Report )

"Cloak of Green probed the dark underbrush of environmental politics..." (Publishers Weekly )

"Cloak of Green is often fascinating reading, and for those who have invested money or effort in the environmental movement, it is sure to be an eye-opener." (Brian Flinn Daily News )

"Dewar can't be accused of leaving many stones unturned. She asks questions, then questions the answers people give her.

The case she presents is methodical and detailed

Dewar's revelations about behind-the-scenes manipulation in the environment movement should make all of us look just a little more carefully before we dig out the charge card in the name of saving another South American tree." (Heidi Greco Vancouver Sun )

"Dewar spent more than five years researching this complex and troubling work. In turns both fascinating and irritating, it's bound to raise eyebrows and controversy...
this is a rare and important piece of journalism. No one else has dared rip the veil of good intentions off the green movement, or meticulously traced\ its personal and financial ties to powerful elite -- the very people environmentalists so often vilify... as the book peels back layers of intrigue like old paint, it shows how far removed church-basement fund-raisers are from the centres of power." (Ted Wakefield Winnipeg Free Press )

"Dewar's book does raise some intruiging questions about the activities of nongovernmental organizations and some environmental groups." (Mark Nichols Maclean's )

"Perhaps one of the most intruiging political books of the year." (Thomas Walkom Toronto Star )

"Cloak of Green ... is a devastating expose of the shady finances of the international environmental movement... if you've been snookered into supporting the groups that raise money to prevent environmental doomsdays, this book just might help save your money for real causes." (Rogelio A. Maduro 21st Century Science and Technology )
