critical reception

[edit]

here's one critical review; anyone have any more?: "Despite Benjamin's countless conversations with everyone from Ed Gillespie, former head of the GOP, to a drunk in an Idaho bar, he never offers any fresh insights or practical suggestions. He concludes by barraging the reader with a series of unearned musts: we must revitalize the public sector, we must work hard for a new universalism. If his time in the nation's whitest enclaves gave him any specific thoughts about how those ideals might be achieved, he would have done well to share them.(Nov.) —Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

obvious factual error

[edit]

Obvious Factual errors. Rich states that he visited the Aryan Nation compound in North Idaho and unless he visited prior to 2001, there was no compound anymore. It was shut down in 2001 from the financial repercussions of a lawsuit. [[1]] "The $6.3 million verdict caused Butler to file for bankruptcy one month later. [14] As part of the bankruptcy process, the group's property was put up for auction. SPLC loaned the Keenans $95,000 to bid on the 20 acre property. [15] In February 2001, the group's Hayden Lake compound and intellectual property, including the names "Aryan Nations" and "Church of Jesus Christ Christian", were transferred to the Keenans.[12] Idaho native and millionaire philanthropist Greg Carr purchased the property from the Keenans, which he then donated to the North Idaho College Foundation. It is now a park dedicated to peace." Leif One (talk) 07:35, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
