4.0 out of 5 stars Scary! -- but true, September 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: False Prophets: The Firsthand Account of a Husband-Wife Team Working for the FBI and Living in Deepest Cover With the Montana Freemen (Hardcover)

I've read a lot of scary fiction authors in my time, but nothing compares to what the Jakes witness in this book -- and it's all true. Dale and Connie Jakes are civilians who go undercover at a Freemen compound in Montana. They have a handshake agreement with the FBI - they dish up dirt on local members, and the FBI gives them $25,000. The Jakes deposit their children with a friend and go in thinking it will be a short few months of undercover work. It turns into several very scary years with the Freemen, at which at any time they could be discovered and horribly murdered.

What the Jakes find, and how the FBI uses the couple (in every sense of the word) makes up the bulk of the book. Folks, this book freaked me out. It is very hard to believe that our country has in it such cruel, hardened, vicious wackos as are protrayed in the book but it does. This book is very much a wake-up call to the internal terroism that is happening in America today.

I'm not even finished with the book yet - but I felt I had to report this is a "must read." Facts about the great US of A that most people (including me) would never have suspected. Yes, it CAN happy to us - and it did.
