Reviews for the Hidden Hand

My book has been a bestseller for months, on Amazon and elsewhere, and it's now in it's second printing. Grateful to all of you who have picked it up.

Here's some of things that people have said about it so far:

Eve Barlow, writer: "Essential, credible...you must buy and inhale a copy of The Hidden Hand by Warren Kinsella. If I could, and believe me I want to, I would anonymously Amazon it to people...The Hidden Hand is the book I have been waiting for, since long before October 7, 2023."

National Post: "In his book The Hidden Hand, Kinsella documents how the explosion of anti-Israel sentiment since October 7 is largely the product of a highly organized, well-funded and deliberately orchestrated propaganda campaign designed to delegitimize Israel..."

Lawyer and human rights activist Arsen Ostrovsky: "A must read...on how coordinated anti-Israel propaganda campaign blindsided the West after Oct. 7. Warren Kinsella's book The Hidden Hand is an absolute MUST READ!"

Ben Mulroney, The Ben Mulroney Show: "This is such an important book."

Winnipeg Free Press: "Devastating...convincing...Kinsella shows, Tehran planned social media campaigns and protests focusing on Palestinian victimhood and Israeli 'apartheid' and 'genocide.' The antisemitic social media onslaught continues — a win for bigoted groups such as neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers and Islamic extremists, who rarely won Western converts or elections but spread hatred and radicalized people online..."

Senator Pamela Wallin: "This book is riveting. So important."

Jewish Book World: "Warren Kinsella deconstructs the inner workings of this campaign of hate, and pulls no punches as to what is at stake here: the further spread of antisemitism within society...and how to offset it."

Jas Johal, Corus Network: "A fabulous book."

Times of Israel: "Kinsella has spent more than 30 years in the trenches fighting against hate. He has confronted Aryan Nations fanatics — who jammed a rifle into his chest — dealt with bomb threats and firebomb plots, fended off lawsuits from Holocaust deniers and helped put neo-Nazi propagandists behind bars. His earlier books, Unholy Alliances and Web of Hate, document the far right’s evolution from street gangs to online networks...In The Hidden Hand, veteran political strategist Warren Kinsella says that ‘spontaneous outrage’ on the streets is actually being planned by state actors and professional agitators..."

Israel National News: "...an excellent book about the explosion of online Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred and of the additional propaganda and disinformation techniques deployed by the enemies of the Jewish people and Israel since October 7, 2023...Kinsella’s The Hidden Hand: The Information War and the Rise of Anti-Semitic Propaganda (Signal Books, 2026) is admirably detailed and fact-based, makes use of a wide range of reliable sources including interviews with experts and is presented in a clear, straightforward and highly readable style."

Israel's Foreign Ministry: "Hamas planned not only the October 7 massacre, but also the propaganda campaign that followed. Veteran political strategist Warren Kinsella argues the anti-Israel narrative was 'an organized, professional-style political campaign.' From the outset, Hamas weaponized propaganda and disinformation to amplify its terrorism, manipulate global opinion, and vilify Israel."

The Seaboard Review of Books: "Kinsella’s use of the 'hidden hand' shrewdly inverts one of antisemitism’s oldest lies: the racist fantasy of Jewish control. But the shadowy force he identifies is not Jewish power...Kinsella is keenly alert to the strange convergence of the far right and radical left, which share a rhetoric that denies Jewish legitimacy...Kinsella has spent much of his career exposing the workings of organized hate. A lawyer, political strategist, journalist, author, punk musician, and, most recently, filmmaker, he wrote a foundational account of Canada’s far right, Web of Hate. Three decades of that work have taught him that 'antisemitism is a shapeshifter' — an insight that illuminates how the hatred jumps between digital platforms around the globe and stays below official notice...The sheer volume and variety of material Kinsella gathers is almost daunting. What keeps it from becoming a catalogue of outrage is his instinct for character and story...The Hidden Hand makes this [antisemitic campaign] — the circuitous funding, the standardized slogans, the digital toolkits, and the patient work of turning a generation against a people — impossible to ignore."
