The shocking January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was at once an end - the culmination of a long-building strain of violent American extremism - and a beginning: a declaration of war on democracy by a fundamentally antidemocratic far-right movement that, ironically, calls itself the ''Patriot'' movement.
In The Age of Insurrection David Neiwert explains and explores the nature of the insurgent radical right and its relentless violence: how it was built over decades, how it was set aflame by Donald Trump and his cohorts, and how it will continue to attack American democracy for the foreseeable future.
The Age of Insurrection lays out how these groups organize their terroristic violence and attacks on democratic institutions at every level - including local, state, and federal targets - and what their strategies and plans look like for the foreseeable future. It also details how communities have been negatively affected by these groups, and how some have responded effectively to the challenges they present.
