American Extremism explains how at the heart of the politics
practiced by the militia movement is an attempt to define the
nature of 'Americanism', and shows how militia members employ the
myths, metaphors and perceived historical lessons of the American
Revolution, the constitutional settlement and America's frontier
experience to do so. Mulloy argues that militia members' search for
the 'authority of history' leads them to a position best
characterized as 'ahistorical historicism', in which political
interests in the present are given greater weight than the demands
of a historically accurate reading of the past.
