Customer Reviews

A poorely documented mass of speculation and misinformation

This book doesn't grasp many of the issues that have driven many Americans into periferal groups in order to magnify their voice in the system. The book also fails to outline the fundamental causes which alienate many Americans from the mainstream method of political discourse. In order to understand the Militia phenomenon, one must assume that their is a current threat to the survival of our personal freedoms eminating from the government that is supposed to protect our civil rights.

Newsweek reporter writes a nice primer on "far-right" groups

This is a great book for one who wants a brief overview of the far-right extremist groups out there. Many of these groups are very scary but their strength comes out in numbers and there are so many philosophical differences between them that chances are slim of a wide scale uniting of forces. Still, the Oklahoma bombing is an example of what just a couple of them can do. The author gives a nice overview of these groups in a 185 page book that's written in a quick-read style that gives away his background as a newsweek reporter. For an in-depth analysis you must go elsewhere.
