Engaging quick read
4 stars
I read this book pretty quickly, which is testimony that it kept me engaged. I learned a lot about the history of the far right and appreciated the ways she captured some intimate details about individuals involved in these cultures.

The personal narrative I enjoyed the most was probably in her introduction and her afterward section.
That said, if you enjoy reading about stuff like this and are as fascinated by 'the culture wars' as I am, I would definitely recommend it!
