This expose of the "Jesus plus Nothing" movement, referred to by the author as American Fundamentalism, details the rise of an elite, but surprisingly un-biblical form of fundamentalism, secretly at work within the highest offices of our government.

What is especially frightening is the power of this movement especially as it has influenced politics around the world and as it has married itself, at times, to some pretty unsavory world leaders and some downright evil regimes.

The book is sometimes a bit too rambling, even so it is well worth the read.
