A shrewd and compelling examination of how political figures throughout history have used scientific findings to achieve their objectives—just as scientists have often put political forces to work to achieve their own goals.

• Supplies a detailed review of the past decade during which politicians have misused and misrepresented scientific knowledge

• Describes events going back to ancient Greece during which use or misuse of scientific or political power occurred, underscoring how these behaviors are well-established "means to an end"

• Includes biographical sketches of individuals who have been involved in such activities
