[1][2] Crimes Against Nature was written by Waterkeeper Alliance founder[3] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and published by HarperCollins.

[4] In the book, Kennedy is fiercely critical of George W. Bush, accusing him of undermining democracy and damaging the environment.

The book's criticism includes the lobbying efforts of American oil company Halliburton, and Bush's appointment of Gale Norton to the role of Interior Secretary.

[5][4] Publishers Weekly noted that Kennedy is critical of Bush and others for using fear to drive the change they want, but that Kennedy himself also uses fear in the book to drive the change he seeks.

The review praises Kennedy for making a passionate case.
