Just as Donald Trump's victorious campaign for the US presidency
shocked liberal Americans, the seemingly sudden national prominence
of white supremacists, xenophobes, militia leaders, and mysterious
"Alt-Right" leaders mystifies many. But the extreme Right has been
growing steadily in the US since the 1990s, with the rise of
Patriot militias; following 9/11, when conspiracy theorists found
fresh life; and in virulent reaction to the first black president
of the country. Nurtured by a powerful right-wing media sector in
radio, TV, and online, the Far Right, Tea Party movement
conservatives, and Republican activists found common ground in
"Producerist" ideology and "constitutionalist" interpretations of
US law-an alternative America that is resurgent, even as it has
been ignored by the political establishment and mainstream media.
Investigative reporter David Neiwert has been tracking extremists
for more than two decades, and here he provides a deeply reported
and authoritative report on the background, mindset, and growth on
the ground of Far Right movements across the country. The product
of years of reportage, and including the most in-depth
investigation of Trump's ties to Far Right figures, this is a
crucial book about one of the most disturbing sides of the US.
