In Gods Country the Patriot Movementby David Neiwert
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:The author, a Northwest journalist, allows members of the Patriot
militia movement—which is largely rooted in the Northwest—to
speak for themselves, the better to understand the causes that drive
their separatist and, occasionally, violent tendencies. Discussion
centers on the Freemen siege of Montana in 1996 as a means of
introducing the various groups and prominent figures of the movement,
as well as the citizens and officials who oppose the activities of
militia organizations. The author explains that while many of the
movement's claims may seem extremist or outlandish, they are rooted
in genuine feelings of disenfranchisment with and marginalization
from American politics and culture.
