Our December Book Club will discuss “Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America” by Kathleen Belew. Terri Gross of NPR’s Fresh Air, said “Belew’s book helps explain how we got to today’s alt right.” The “soldiers” of the white power movement are not lone wolves but highly organized cadres motivated by a deeply troubling wold view made up of white supremacy, virulent anticommunism and apocalyptic faith. The book is based on previously classified FBI files and extensive interviews and describes the history of a movement that started after the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in Waco, Ruby Ridge and Oklahoma City.
