"""In a nation with a broad assemblage of vigilantes and insurrectionists who want to take the law into their own hands, Jon Michaels and David Noll are lending a hand to democracy and the rule of law. They have traced the history, meaning and threats of vigilantism and thus told the electrifying story of American democracy and its enemies."" --U.S. Congressman Jamie Raskin, lead impeachment manager for the (second) impeachment of Donald Trump and member of the House Select Committee on January 6. ""Vigilante Nation is a chilling expos� of the methods and tactics that far-right extremists--and their political and judicial enablers--are using to undermine democracy, in the tradition of Jane Mayer's The Dark Side. A gripping, bracing read."" --Sewell Chan, executive editor of the Columbia Journalism Review and former editor in chief of The Texas Tribune ""A must-read. An essential analysis of the dangerous far-right white nationalist movement in America . . . to seize power in red states and grasp for it everywhere . . . but also to comprehend what can be done, including using blue state and majority power to push back."" --Ambassador Norman Eisen (ret.), senior fellow at Brookings and counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the first impeachment of Donald Trump"
