If you have any interest in left or right extremist movements in the U.S., this book is indispensible, and it is without peer. The authors neither glamorize nor excoriate their subject matter. Rather, they present each group or movement, from the Spartacist League to Father Coughlin, as nonjudgmentally and factually as possible. You will discover obscure Marxist sects and strange racist splinter groups you have never heard of before, each of which has a fascinating history backed up with ample footnotes. Do not hesitate to buy this book!

this is a very informative book that compares and contrasts these "political groups" definately explores the darker side of out human nature. but this book mostly covers things like the nazi party in america and how it spread in the 1930's and how the kkk rose up out of the south. also covers the american communist movement in the early century. a must read
