5.0 out of 5 stars
author has a good grasp of history and sociology,

This review is from: The Politics of Righteousness: Idaho Christian Patriotism (Samuel and Althea Stroum Book) (Hardcover)
323 pages, subject index, name index, footnotes including bibliography for each chapter, appendix with copies of such documents as "Hitler was Elijah." Charts and tables, including figures on religious and educational background of those who joined these extremist movements. The previous review might give you the idea that this was a shallow or sensationalistic book; I find it to be well-researched and level-headed. This is, in part, a "field guide" to the many extremist groups in Idaho, their ideological differences, their relationship to each other and to other political and religious groups.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Well researched, but somewhat misguided at times.,

This review is from: The Politics of Righteousness: Idaho Christian Patriotism (Paperback)
The Politics of Rightousness: Idaho Christian Patriotism by James Aho is certainly a well researched and well written book about an issue of supreme concern in our country. There are times, however, particularly in the first 150 pages of the book, during which Aho's subjects and points seem to be forgotten and/or spread too thin. In other parts of his book, he seems to base some of his premises on farfetched ideas and foundations. Albeit the foundations of many of the Identity ideals are farfetched within themselves. Regardless of these lulls in Aho's focus, I would strongly recommend this book to anybody who is interested in learning about these dark and mysterious cultural misfits.
