Riassunto:

<p><b>A <i>Guardian</i> Best Book of the Year</b><br><br><b>“A gripping study of white power… Explosive.”<br>—<i>New York Times</i></b><br><br><b>“Helps explain how we got to today’s alt-right.”<br>—Terry Gross, <i>Fresh Air</i></b><br><br>The white power movement in America wants a revolution.<br><br>Returning to a country ripped apart by a war they felt they were not allowed to win, a small group of Vietnam veterans and disgruntled civilians who shared their virulent anti-communism and potent sense of betrayal concluded that waging war on their own country was justified. The command structure of their covert movement gave women a prominent place. They operated with discipline, made tragic headlines in Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Oklahoma City, and are resurgent under President Trump. Based on a decade of deep immersion in previously classified FBI files and on extensive interviews, <i>Bring the War Home</i> tells the story of American paramilitarism and the birth of the alt-right.<br><br>“A much-needed and troubling revelation… The power of Belew’s book comes, in part, from the fact that it reveals a story about white-racist violence that we should all already know.”<br>—<i>The Nation</i><br><br>“Fascinating… Shows how hatred of the federal government, fears of communism, and racism all combined in white-power ideology and explains why our responses to the movement have long been woefully inadequate.”<br>—<i>Slate</i><br><br>“Superbly comprehensive…supplants all journalistic accounts of America’s resurgent white supremacism.”<br>—Pankaj Mishra, <i>The Guardian</i></p>
