Thanks for sharing this review, Doug. The book, as you suggest is not for the faint of heart, but, this line: "the Right seeks to “demolish the very possibility of reasonable discussion,” " releases me from the impulse to read the book and frees me from the compulsion to try to have a reasonable conversation with any one from that unreasonable right.
I might not have read the book had not Englewood Review asked me to review it. I didn't think I needed yet another treatment of Christian Nationalism. But I'm glad to have met Katherine Stewart and very much appreciate her careful reporting. The conversations I have had with the right on social media have been difficult (more like bullying than trying to understand). I have had conversations with neighbors, on the other hand, which didn't bring us closer together, but we are still talking. Thanks for being a reader!
Great review, Doug! I concur with Linda. Long life experience has shown me the “reasonable discussion” is not on the menu…
Thanks, Jan!
