Reviews
Andy Campbell brings together the pieces to help us understand the inner workings of one of the country's most notorious far-right groups. An investigative feat, his work is essential reading for those wrestling to understand how homegrown extremist movements take hold and wreak havoc in America. With our country at such a precarious juncture--grappling with domestic terrorism, political polarization, and rampant disinformation--Campbell does the hard work of exposing the dangerous underbelly of the Proud Boys. A timely addition to the study of political violence in America. --Ali Soufan, former FBI Special Agent and author of Anatomy of Terror: From the Death of bin Laden to the Rise of the Islamic State This brilliant and hilarious book explains how the country lost its mind and grown men put on designer uniforms to fight imaginary enemies in the name of whatever their addled brains believed that freedom is. If you've ever wondered how a potent mix of creeping fascism, male insecurity and grift came close to upending American democracy, then read Andy Campbell's book right now. --Vegas Tenold, author of Everything You Love Will Burn: Inside the Rebirth of White Nationalism in America To learn from Andy Campbell's brave book how Donald Trump inspired the Proud Boys and how FOX hosts and MAGA Republicans then normalized this hateful, violent group is to see with fresh horror the enormity of the January 6, 2021 plot to overturn the will of the voters--and why all the inciters and enablers of that ongoing attack on our country must be held accountable if democracy is to survive in America. --Nancy MacLean, National Book Award-finalist author of Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America
