A Force Upon the Plain: The American Militia Movement and the Politics of Hate, by Kenneth S. Stern (HC, 1996, some underlining, autographed, $5, which is 1/3 the internet price.)
I started reading this book, but couldn't make myself finish. It was just too upsetting. Yet how can we fight something without being able to look at it?
"A Force upon the Plain explains how this country has gotten to a point where thousands of well-armed men and women have become so certain that their country is under siege and their leaders cannot be trusted that they believe the only possible defense lies with them and their guns. It uncovers the ways in which these men and women have used newsletters, the Internet, short-wave and political campaigns to spread their message of hate across the country and even into the halls of Congress...
We all know what happened in Oklahoma City. What we need to know now is why and what may come next."
When you read this, expect to be disturbed. Look for it on the new non-fiction table. (L-AH)
