Visiting Scholar, University of Colorado, Boulder - Steven Hayward
It used to be said of certain kinds of scientific utopians that they loved humanity, but didn't like any actual humans. Now many scientific utopians don't even like humanity. Wesley Smith grasps the dangerous paradox of thinkers whose first step in exalting nature is to attack human nature. In order for nature to have "rights," it has become necessary for humans to have none... We owe much to Wesley Smith for keeping vigil against this deeply anti-human strain of modern thought...."

Overview
The environmental movement has helped produce significant improvements in the world around us—from cleaner air to the preservation of natural wonders such as Yellowstone. But in recent years, environmental activists have arisen who regard humans as Public Enemy #1. In this provocative e-book, Wesley J. Smith exposes efforts by radical activists to reduce the human population by up to 90% and to grant legal rights to animals, plants, and Mother Earth. Smith argues that the ultimate victims of this misanthropic crusade will be the poorest and most vulnerable among us, and he urges us to defend both human dignity and the natural environment before it is too late.

Syndicated Columnist - Nat Hentoff
Smith has... written a riveting expose of this multi-dimensional assault on human beings that for life saving reasons—I kid you not—must be read by human beings beyond their political, religious, and all other affiliations.Novelist - Dean Koontz
Within the world of benign and admirable conservation and ecological-awareness organizations, an irrational and misanthropic ideology has metastasized that in its fanaticism is as dangerous as the fascist and communist crusades of the past century. In The War on Humans, Wesley Smith succinctly exposes the "philosophy" and the aims of this movement, cites its deep unreason, and brilliantly extrapolates the horrors inevitable should it triumph.Product Details
