Upon its first appearance in 1967, this best-selling `secret government report` sparked immediate debate among journalists and scholars with its disturbingly convincing claim: a condition of `permanent peace` at the end of the Cold War would threaten our nation`s economic and social stability. Although finally identified as an antimilitarist hoax by writer/editor Leonard Lewin, who conceived and launched the book with a consortium of peace movement intellectuals including future Nation editors Victor Navasky and Richard Lingeman, novelist E. L. Doctorow, and economist John Kenneth Galbraith, Iron Mountain would eventually take on a life of its own. Long out of print, the Report suddenly reappeared in `bootleg` editions more than twenty years after the original publication. In a manner never foreseen by the book`s creators, it was now being read as a `bible` by the militias of the radical right - a bizarre reversal that returns this haunting satire to the spotlight and raises uncomfortable questions about the changing nature of today`s political culture.
