Editorial Reviews

Review

A well documented and well written account of the latter day Mormon Polygamist / Fundamentalist in the Inter-mountain West. It is recommended reading for anyone interested in this subculture. Benjamin Bistline, The Polygamists: A History of Colorado City, Arizona -- Review


Product Description

THE WORLDWIDE BOMBSHELL of Brian David Mitchell, the itinerant sidewalk preacher who kidnaped Elizabeth Smart, finally brought the world’s attention to what Oprah Winfrey’s show labeled as third-world Taliban-type abuses in Utah and Arizona. The entire world had been focused on publicity hungry Tom Green and his claim of a peaceful life as a polygamist, when Mitchell and his accomplice wife shocked the world by their crime against Elizabeth Smart. POLYGAMY expert and retired law enforcement officer John Llewellyn provides a dramatic inside look at each of the polygamist groups, how they began, how they rule their people, their beliefs, and how many are living off your tax dollars. He explores serious human rights abuses that occur in many groups such as forcing young girls to marry men old enough to be their father. A former friend of Tom Green, the author provides deep background on Tom’s life and polygamist activities. John explores the fascinating underground fraud by the various groups and evaluates Brian David Mitchell’s efforts to turn Elizabeth Smart into a compliant plural wife. FINALLY, he takes a hard look at the possible value of decriminalizing polygamy so that the many hidden abuses, including tens of millions of dollars of welfare fraud when polygamist wives pose as single mothers with children, can be brought out into the open and finally be dealt with realistically.

4.0 out of 5 stars Polygomy under attack, March 1, 2004
By A Customer
Mr. Llewellyn does a great job of identifying the power players in the underground world of Polygomy. He gives an even handed presentation of the problems that abusive polygomy presents for government, wives, and children. It also presents the more idealistic polygomy that some people find fulfilling.
In todays politically correct world I see no way that polygomy can be condoned so it will continue as it is today. It will be ignored by government and it will continue to exist underground as an abusive sub-culture
