“An indispensible study” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) drawing on history, public opinion surveys, and personal experience that presents a provocative examination of the unholy relationship between American Christianity and white supremacy, and issues an urgent call for White Christians to reckon with this legacy for the sake of themselves and the nation.

Through a White Christian lens
Revisado: 04-07-22
I wasn’t going to give this 5 stars originally but as I finished up the book and reviewed the sourcing, I decided this book well deserved all 5 stars. It can seem bias at points but it’s quickly contextualized and explained. The anecdotes are impactful and relevant and the conclusion reads with much more hope than the history within. I truly enjoyed this book and recommend it highly.

Great but not comprehensive
Revisado: 10-22-20
This book is a great little course in American conspiracy theories. Though quite comprehensive for its relative brevity, Mick West steered clear of the segments of said theories that are motivated by and followed by Nazis and/or white supremacy e.g. Holocaust Deniers

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 50
First published in 1962, this wonderfully provocative book introduced the notion of "pseudo-events" - events such as press conferences and presidential debates, which are manufactured solely in order to be reported - and the contemporary definition of celebrity as "a person who is known for his well-knownness". Since then Daniel J. Boorstin's prophetic vision of an America inundated by its own illusions has become an essential resource for any listeners who wants to distinguish the manifold deceptions of our culture from its few enduring truths.

Boorstin’s deep Conservative mindset reaches through every example in this book.
Revisado: 10-12-20
The yearning for an America that never existed and the blaming of technological progression lead Boorstin to bemoan the changes he saw happening. While his definition of pseudoevents prevails today and does define a legitimate phenomenon in our culture, this has become a virtue signal for “fake news” and a great springboard for vast conspiracy theories. I do agree that this should be read by more people merely to understand the deep intolerance and disgust the Conservative lens views progress.
