“A comprehensive look at the Family’s quiet and carefully obscured influence.”–Scott Horton, Harper’s
“A fascinating story that will intrigue and outrage readers…C Street provides valuable insights into an influential political and religious group.”–Boston Globe

Jeff Sharlet delivers a warning that the blurring of the line between church and state is both an urgent local problem and a matter of global concern.”–Peter Manseau, author of Rag and Bone: A Journey Among the World’s Holy Dead and Songs for the Butcher’s Daughter
“Sharlet’s firsthand reporting is brilliant, even courageous.”–John G. Turner, Washington Post
