08.15: Wrapped in the Flag: A Personal History of America's Radical Right

2013-07-10 23:33:39| Powells Books Events Calendar

Long before the rise of the Tea Party movement and the prominence of today's religious Right, the John Birch Society championed many of the same radical causes touted by ultraconservatives today. Worshipping its anti-Communist hero Joe McCarthy, the Birch Society is perhaps most notorious for its red-baiting and for accusing top politicians of being Communist sympathizers. The daughter of one of the society's first members, Claire Conner grew up surrounded by dedicated Birchers and was expected to abide by and espouse Birch ideals. Even when she was old enough to quit in disgust, it took momentous changes in her own life for Conner to finally free herself of the group's legacy. In Wrapped in the Flag: A Personal History of America's Radical Right (Beacon Press), Conner offers an intimate account of the society, giving us an inside look at one of the most radical right-wing movements in U.S. history and its lasting effects on our political discourse today.
