About this listen
In this classic edition of their acclaimed 1982 book, with a new preface by the authors, Conway and Siegelman reveal how the preachers and political operatives of the fundamentalist right use potent new communication technologies to raise vast sums of money, mobilize millions, elect zealous fundamentalists to public office, and advance far-right social and political goals. To research this new threat they term "holy terror," the authors criss-crossed the country and interviewed people on all sides of the issues: from targeted senators and congressmen to disillusioned Christians appalled by the new political thrusts of their faith. More timely today than four decades ago, Conway and Siegelman’s astute and provocative findings are sure to arouse and enlighten readers of every persuasion.
