Summary: Rather than simply demonizing or directing outrage at self-proclaimed "Patriot" and militia organizations, David Neiwert allows Patriot extremists to speak for themselves and largely on their own terms. His critical journalistic dialogue, placed in the context of the Northwest's regional milieu, allows us to better understand the socioeconomic and philosophical/religious complexities of how and why these otherwise ordinary citizens have come to think the way they do. --from publisher description.
