"Aho (Idaho State Univ.) describes his perceptive, brief book as a 'straightforward, jargon-free study of contemporary right-wing extremism' in politics and religion—right on target in this unusual election year. He also points out that the views of these fantasy folk have entered mainstream conservatism. In a sense, vile words are the book's subject—the vile words of far-right fantasists. As used here, 'far-right fantasy refers to an intellectual style with a belligerent tone, an exotic history of the world, and a concrete program of social reform.' Aho's stated goal is to 'aid the blind to recover their sight' and to remind readers of the terrible harm that can come from what these fantasists consider good intentions. He correctly describes groups such as Christian Patriots and Christian Dominionists as ultra-dangerous to true democracy in the US. These deluded fantasists say such things as 'anyone who tells you that the government is not tyrannical is ... a tyrant' and speak of the "Satanification" of the US in a 'paranoid style of politics. Aho presents a conservative list of 355 US right-wing related fatalities from 1980 to 2015. Hopefully, in this election year, this book will be widely read by voters, candidates, and TV interviewers. Summing Up: Essential. All levels/libraries."
G. H. Shriver, Georgia Southern University in CHOICE
"Aho revisits the dark world of right-wing extremist 'Christian Patriots,' and readers benefit from his deep acquaintance with this movement, which he analyzes with penetrating sociological insights. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of his account is the evidence he musters to indicate how the worldview of these 'far-right fantasists' has percolated into mainstream conservatism." 
Peter Kivisto, Richard A. Swanson Professor of Social Thought, AugustanaCollege
Research Fellow, University of Trento 　
"Aho's study of the right-wing fantasies of Christain patriots and white supremicists is grounded in a lifetime's　study of sociological methods, religious history, and first-hand encounters with extremists in his own home state of Idaho. As he dispels simple-minded explanations of these outliers on the American scene, he also offers us a deeper understanding of their ideologies and convictions. 　A delightful read as well as a profoundly informative work of scholarship."

"Authoritatively written and masterfully analyzed, this penetrating study journeys into the dark world of America's Christian extremists and their dangerous political fantasies. It is as gripping as it is unsettling--a must read."
