Book Description

November 5, 2002
With the events of Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Oklahoma City, the American militia movement emerged from the obscurity of secluded cabins and survivalist meetings into the national media spotlight.Yet how much do we really know about these radical groups determined to wage war against the American government? In this eye-opening look at the militia movement, Captain Robert L. Snow provides a chilling portrayal of the explosive cauldron of hate brewing across our nation. He takes us behind the scenes to expose the militias' extreme military-style training tactics; their trade and sale of banned semi-automatic weapons and explosives; and the often-disturbing beliefs, from anti-government conspiracy theories to end-time prophecies, which motivate them. Filled with firsthand accounts of how the government has already stopped a dozen or more potential attacks, Terrorists Among Us is an eye-opening exposé of the danger that lurks within our borders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chapters examine militas in this country, March 8, 2003
This review is from: Terrorists Among Us: The Militia Threat (Paperback)
Terrorists Among Us provides a thought-provoking exploration of the dangers posed by terrorist groups not outside the country, but at home - considering how movements have emerged against the backdrop of regional struggles against the American government, and how they continue to pose a threat. Chapters examine militas in this country, their trading of weapons and stockpiles, and their motivations.

1.0 out of 5 stars A total waste of your time and money...don't waste either., May 20, 2009
This review is from: Terrorists Among Us: The Militia Threat (Paperback)
As a 34 year veteran of law enforcement, both local and Federal, I find Captain Snow to be a very "interesting" sort of LEO, to say the very least. His bragging of only owning one handgun during his distinguished career, and not understanding any individual feeling the need to own more, spoke volumes to me...I pray that Captain Snow would never be my back-up on a violent call. But of course he would have to call Morris Dees while en-route in order to verify the SPLC and ADL's current stand on whatever incident that we were responding to. Captain Snow's assertion that a large number of police officers consider Morris Dees to be a hero is certainly news to me...I have never heard Mr.Dees'name mentioned at any roll call or locker room that I have ever been in, other than the troops grumbling about the periodic SPLC bulletins that were immediately filed in the nearest round filing container. This was done at agencies that I worked for in two different states, and prior to writing this review, I spoke with a retired Police Chief who confirmed that the same periodicals were routinely trashed at his agency also. Quite simply, this is because the SPLC, ADL, and other favorite organizations of Captain Snow DO NOT provide verifiable information worthy of police interest...as a Sergeant I used to tell my troops "these things are NOT BOLO (Be On The Lookout) directives or Take For Action information...they are rumors, heresay, and non-verifiable information from a non law enforcement entity that has a strong political agenda"...as I was filing the SPLC's latest "hot tips on hate groups" in the nearest round filing container.

Since "The Militia Threat" quotes Morris Dees & Co. more than nearly any other source of information, including governmental agencies, perhaps Mr. Dees should have just written the book himself in the first place. Captain Snow's police credentials mean next to nothing to any true working street cop...he is totally out of touch with what is happening on the streets in the real world, and would, in fact, be better served sticking to writing some more books about his reincarnation experience and other fascinating topics. Of course, he will need to check with his friends at SPLC and ADL first, to make certain that he didn't commit any hate crimes or similar acts during one of his previous lives...I'm certain that their extensive investigative capabilities and volumous records would quickly ascertain if he now needed to be "flagged" as a "person of interest"

Don't waste your time or money on this book...it serves no useful function other than maybe as a flower press or perhaps a paper weight.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book, it's not worth the shipping or the time you'll spend reading it., May 19, 2007
This review is from: Terrorists Among Us: The Militia Threat (Paperback)
This book is written by a police officer who doesn't even think that private American citizens should own firearms in the first place. If you want an elitist police officers point of view on gun shows, freedom, the Second Amendment and then finally anti-government militias, buy this book. If you want an unbiased book dealing only with the facts that provides a good story that you could also maybe use to write a report with, buy something else instead.

The only decent part of this book is when he has a couple page section dealing with some of the black helicopter conspiracy theories that a few of the militias have tried to tell the public about. That was a pretty short section that any reasonable person that knows anything about militias from a Time or Newsweek article could write themselves if they wanted to and they could have made the same jokes.

This guy doesn't come from the usual stand point of just reporting the facts about this subject in an unbiased and informative way, he's obviously got an opinion and an axe to grind on the subject. He also trys to paint the militia guys as potentially dangerous terrorists when in reality many of them are middle aged guys who want to wear camoflauge, like to camp, fish and shoot and like to pretend that they're engaged in a serious organization.

I've known a couple of these guys from work and they're hardly dangerous. A little comical maybe, but hardly dangerous. This guy however trys to portray them as if they're engaging in a mass conspiracy to try and engage in future terrorism. It's just as bad as him making fun of them for their conspiracy theories about black helicopters, just from a different side.

If I had it to do over again, I wish that I could get back the two hours that I spent reading this book and get the cost of the book itself and the shipping I paid back again. Frankly, even though some of the used sellers on here are practically giving this book away for a single penny, it isn't worth the price of shipping.
