by James Aho (Author)
Maelstrom: Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence reviews the cyclical nature of right-wing resurgences in American history, dismisses the appropriateness of the word 'fascism' to explain them, and then describes in depth the goal of "reconstructing" American institutions on the basis of biblical principles.
