Armed for Life - The Army of God and Anti-Abortion Terror in the United States (Hardcover)

This book provides a detailed and comprehensive look at the primary players, acts, motivations, and methods of the Army of God in their quest to make abortion illegal in the United States. The Army of God may not be widely known, but they are well established as an extremist Christian organization united in their belief that abortion must be stopped at all costs, including the use of violence or force. Who are the primary players in this underground terrorist group, what acts are they responsible for, and what are the motivations behind their quest to make abortion illegal in the United States? Armed for Life: The Army of God and Anti-Abortion Terror in the United States addresses these questions and more, drawing upon never-before-published interviews with members of the Army of God and their own writings to reveal the details of this grossly understudied organization-and to document what its existence and expansion says about our society. Includes interviews, selections from the Army of God manual, essays and books by members, web postings, and written correspondence Provides a chronology of attacks claimed by or attributed to the Army of God against abortion providers Examines the response by the political and law enforcement community to the Army of God
