The Politics of Righteousness

The Politics Of Righteousness is the first disciplined exploration of the backgrounds and belief systems of the Christian patriots. For the reader who knows these groups only from a selection of inflammatory quotes and violent deeds, James Aho explains the historical and scriptural analysis that underlies their world view. Using information gathered from over two hundred interviews and direct observation of patriot gatherings, Aho replaces the stereotype of solitary crazies from the fringes of society with more complex and disturbing realities.
