Based on a thorough examination of the New Right over 25 years, this extensively documented book credits the electoral success of the Republicans to a new "politics of fear"- not only of terrorists but of immigrants, racial minorities, gays and feminists. The uncertainties of globalization, use of new technologies, and a far-reaching network of right-wing think tanks and foundations also help to explain why Americans have willingly supported a party that promises them security, even as it delivers greater economic, political and environmental insecurity. 232 pp.
