More about the book
In God, Guns, and Sedition Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware trace the historical trajectory of far-right terrorism in the United States and assess the present-day dangers of this violent extremist movement, along with the harm it poses to U.S. national security.
They portraits the leaders behind this violence and their followers, and highlight key terrorist tactics, such as the use of cutting-edge communications technology, the embrace of leaderless resistance or lone-wolf strategies, infiltration and recruitment in the military and law enforcement, and the movement’s intricate relationship with mainstream politics.
