Excerpts from the Report from Iron Mountain:
In time of war, most citizens uncomplainingly accept their low quality of life and remain fiercely loyal to their leaders. If a suitable substitute for war is to be found, then it must also elicit that same reaction. Therefore, a new enemy must be found that threatens the entire world, and the prospects of being overcome by that enemy must be just as terrifying as war itself.
The first consideration in finding a suitable threat to serve as a global enemy was that it did not have to be real. A real one would be better, of course, but an invented one would work just as well, provided the masses could be convinced it was real. The public will more readily believe some fictions than others. Credibility would be more important than truth.
The masses would more willingly accept a falling standard of living, tax increases, and bureaucratic intervention in their lives as simply “the price we must pay to save Mother Earth.”

In an article in the March 19, 1972, edition of The New York Times Book Review, Lewin said that he had written the book.[20] The book was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “Most Successful Literary Hoax.”[citation needed] Some people claim that the book is genuine and has only been called a hoax as a means of damage control.[citation needed] Trans-Action devoted an issue to the debate over the book.[citation needed] Esquire magazine published a 28,000-word excerpt.[4] In an article published in New York in 2013, Victor Navasky confirmed that Galbraith was indeed McLandress, and that he was “in on the hoax from the beginning.”[21]
Some conspiracy theorists reject the statement made in 1972 by the author that the book was satire and that he was its author.[22]
In a remembrance of E. L. Doctorow published in 2015 in The Nation, Victor Navasky asserted his involvement in creating Report from Iron Mountain, naming Leonard Lewin as the main writer with “input” from economist John Kenneth Galbraith, two editors of the satirical magazine Monocle (Marvin Kitman and Richard Lingeman) and himself.[23]
