God's Angry Men: The Political Legacy of the John Birch Society
Autor Carmen Celestinien Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iun 2026
The John Birch Society (JBS) well known for its conspiracy theories is often dismissed for its political impact in the United States. Far from just an organization that utilized fear-based conspiracies, the JBS was a political movement that stemmed from the political aspirations of industry leaders, wanting to ensure a far-right, Christian, free-enterprise supporting mobilization that would ensure the election of a Conservative Messiah to the White House. Celestini explores the eternal battle for the Christian foundations of the nation via culture war issues and the political legacy of the JBS in the 21st century.
Celestini focuses on PR campaigns and other forms of media and propaganda from groups like the John Birch Society and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to demonstrate how this historic political and religious communication can be tied to aggressive alt-right groups, the New Christian Right, and the contemporary 'culture wars.'

Recenzii
In God's Angry Men, Carmen Celestini brilliantly traces the enduring shadow of the John Birch Society across American political and religious life. Combing archival research with years of experience studying extremist movements, she shows how a mid-century movement once dismissed as fringe became the blueprint for the Christian Right's fusion of apocalyptic faith, libertarian economics, and conspiratorial politics. This is not only a study of the past, but a chilling genealogy of the present-revealing how the rhetoric of free enterprise, divine destiny, and moral panic continues to animate today's populist and evangelical movements.
