Negative Positive
Title: A little dated but so disturbing it should still be read
Review: I have had a long interest in various fringe groups and extremists amongst the religious right in America. This book details the rise of militant christian groups intent on "taking the land" and remaking America and the world in their vision of theocracy.The author is mostly fair and balanced although her secularism is never questioned, she gets as far inside these movements and what they mean for America as she can. She is at her best when describing the process of how fundamentalists have accumulated political power to themselves, often under the radar of the political establishment. The only flaw in this book is that it firmly dates itself to the George W Bush era rather than taking a broader view. Having said that it is still well worth a read if you're interested in the power of the religious right.
