Kate Coleman and Encounter Books' not so secret take down of Judi Bari, Earth First!, and the 'dead-enders' of the environmental movement

Kate Coleman expects her book on Judi Bari and Earth First! to be taken seriously. After all, she has a grand story to tell about some of the leading figures in Northern California's environmental wars that have pitted hard-scrabble, politically savvy and under-funded environmental activists against the Goliath's of the timber industry. But too many things in the book go wrong: she plays way too fast and loose with the facts -- and is accused of hundreds of errors, distortions and misstatement; her tone is mean-spirited and derogatory, showing little empathy or respect for the real life characters in her story; and, the book appears to be more about advancing the publisher's anti-environmental agenda than about the life of Judi Bari and the activities of Earth First!
