American Fascists The Christian Right and the War on America
In 'American Fascists,' Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former divinity student Chris Hedges argues that the Christian Right has transformed into a mass movement that mirrors the characteristics of early 20th-century European fascist organizations. Drawing on his experience as a veteran war correspondent and deep research into dominionism, Hedges explores how the movement seeks to dismantle American democracy and replace it with a theo-fascist state. Through interviews with former members, followers, and critics, he details how the movement exploits economic despair and social alienation to build a rigid, intolerant ideology that views secular society and liberal values as existential threats. The book serves as a stark warning about the potential for religious totalitarianism to undermine the foundations of American constitutional law.
