A reasonable read - By: Foxylock, 31 Oct 2008 
I find this particular topic fascinating, the notion that the worlds elite meet behind closed doors to plot future world events is truly disturbing.Daniel Estulin bombards us with facts & figures regarding previous Bilderberg meetings dating back to its creationin 1954.The final chapter makes chilling reading,Is the the collapse of the housing markets part of the master plan?,Is the energy crisis about to take a dramatic turn for the worst?A cynic may say these things are inevitable but Estulin maintains that the Bilderbergers are pulling the strings!
I feel the lack of concrete evidence is damning,but Estulin lets himself down with the accounts of his shadowy meetings.I couldnt help but feel I was reading about a cross bewteen James Bond & Walter Mitty,it was a bit much almost like they were shovedin to gain credibility & boost the ego.Unconvincing.
The True Story of the Bilderberg Group - By: C. dias, 25 Sep 2008 Well, what can I say about this book. I think the most important & notable aspect would be to state that this book contains very little information on the actual Bilderberg group. Instead, most of the chapters are about the Trilateral Commission, the Council of Foreign Relations & a few brief personal "stories" about the author's experiences as a self proclaimed Bilderberg investigator.
Sometimes it gets serious other times you wonder if what you're reading isn't something more on the lines of a fiction novel. In the end, despite its flaws, I would buy it again.
'The Open Society and its Enemies' revisited - By: Luc REYNAERT, 05 Sep 2008 
Sir K. Popper has always stressed that general conspiracy- & complot theories were pure imaginations of bogus historians & paralyzed politicians. He also stated that the only justification for taking up arms was to defend democracy.
Well,in this book Daniel Estulin unveils without any doubt the existence of an extremely serious secret cabal, for whom the democratic political process must be rejected.
Who
The trinity of the Bilderberg Group & its also discrete sister organizations, the Council on Foreign Relations & the Trilateral Commission have a hidden reactionary global agenda.
Goal
Their ultimate aim is to create a New World Order, one world with one world government which should rule over a single marketplace.
As their most powerful advocate said: `The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite & of world bankers is surely preferable to national auto determination. I am proud of conspiring to build a more global political & economic structure: one world.'
Why
They want to safeguard international trade from protectionism & nationalism & so bring more private gain for the world's vested powerful & wealthy top. The promotion of industrial concentration is used for suppressing unwarranted competition.
How
They try to control as much as possible the judicial, educational, information (press, TV, internet, publishing), banking & credit, military & intelligence systems, and, if possible, the mind of everybody (except their own). Nearly all people who occupy crucial positionsin important branches of political, economic, legislative, military, intelligence, social & cultural organizations are members of the groups.
More specifically, they control the US presidency & the US government, the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, all important newspapers & TV channels. They use NATO as their military arm. They try to create world elite with even Chinese & Russian members.
Ultimate picture
Their aim is to create a monolithic one world empire where national identities are destroyed; a world with only rulers (owners) & servants (slaves); a world without social welfare, without spiritual;, political & economic freedom (no individual free enterprise). Obedient slaves will be rewarded, but opponents exterminated.
Defense
The ruling oligarchs are afraid of public revolt. They try to instill political apathyin the majority of the population. The revolt should not necessary be violent. The majority can still collectively say NO as long as the elections are democratic & free.
Daniel Estulin wrote a mightily important book. It is a must read for all those who want to understand (and influence) the world se live in.
Touches all bases - By: Too many books, 29 May 2008 A fun read: Estulin knows that the main market for Bilderberger phobia is among the American & other far-right groups, & so manages spice up his book with plenty of manic terror of the ongoing world takeover by corporate liberal socialist abortionist gun-controlling unbelieving freethinkers. However, he realizes that many others who actually do follow a liberal-socialist train of thought are equally paranoid about Bilderberger meetings, where leading capitalists can corrupt elected representatives. Their fears too are not forgotten.
For all readers' enjoyment, there is plenty of phobia, & some stirring tales of Estulin's personal derring-doin combating Bilderberger intimidation & assassination.
However,in addition, there is a great deal of apparently accurate information about who has been attending Bilderberger meetings, where & when, & of the real topics discussed there. More detail on of that kind would be even more welcome.
Excellent info, disjointed presentation - By: cryingfreeman, 28 Apr 2008 
This would be worthy of 5 stars if there was a better flow between the chapters, since much of the book is disjointed & the chapters more like a succession of short essays conveying key points than chaptersin the more common sense.
That said, this book contains much valuable & very important information about this secret cabal & its megalomanical plans. I would, however, have liked to see some really hardcore, meaty revelationsin there that would have rocked the world, but I suppose obtaining this would be next to impossible given the secrecy our self-appointed custodians of the planet shroud themselves in.
Some have expressed concern about Estulin's bona fides as an impartial investigator, as he admitsin the book that he is a Russian with ex KGB family ties. Let the reader judge for himself or herself if this makes any difference to the evidence (and the signifigance thereof) he has very meticulously set forthin the book.
