From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. The f-word crops up in the most respectable quarters these days. Yet if the provocative title of this expose by Hedges (War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning)—sounds an alarm, the former New York Times foreign correspondent takes care to employ his terms precisely and decisively. As a Harvard Divinity School graduate, his investigation of the Christian Right agenda is even more alarming given its lucidity. Citing the psychology and sociology of fascism and cults, including the work of German historian Fritz Stern, Hedges draws striking parallels between 20th-century totalitarian movements and the highly organized, well-funded "dominionist movement," an influential theocratic sect within the country's huge evangelical population. Rooted in a radical Calvinism, and wrapping its apocalyptic, vehemently militant, sexist and homophobic vision in patriotic and religious rhetoric, dominionism seeks absolute power in a Christian state. Hedges's reportage profiles both former members and true believers, evoking the particular characteristics of this American variant of fascism. His argument against what he sees as a democratic society's suicidal tolerance for intolerant movements has its own paradoxes. But this urgent book forcefully illuminates what many across the political spectrum will recognize as a serious and growing threat to the very concept and practice of an open society. (Jan. 9)

From AudioFile
Chris Hedges, a former Presbyterian seminarian turned journalist, warns that the radical Christian Rights Dominionism movement meets the classic definition of fascism and is a growing threat to justice and freedom in the United States. Hedgess quietly passionate reading of Chapters 1 and 10 brackets Eunice Wongs narration of the rest of the book. Hearing the authors words in his own voice lends authenticity to his arguments. Wongs more energized presentation is a satisfying counterpoint that gives listeners a distinct change of voice, tone, and pace. The two narrative styles combine in a well-balanced delivery of this controversial topic. Regardless of political or religious affiliation, listeners will not be bored.
