Book Overview

The dramatic sieges at Randy Weaver's cabin in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, combined with the FBI's reluctance to admit wrongdoing in those tragic confrontations, fueled a virulent hatred of the federal government that unified previously isolated voices within the extreme radical right movement. As a result, the scores of clandestine paramilitary cells that flourished in the aftermath of Ruby Ridge and Waco...

Outstanding

This book is the best, most factual book I have read about the far right conspiracy in America and those who denigrate it must have some sort of ax to grind. Hamm not only backs up his theories concerning John Doe in the Oklahoma City bombing, the photos he presents are indisputable. With all we know of the FBI's incompetence following the 9-11 attack, they can only be complemented for jailing all of these guys, although they didn't seem to know why they were doing it and many of the conspirators are ready to walk out of prison today. If you don't believe this is true, check the book reviews on a book written by one of their own, Richard K. Hoskins, Vigilantes of Christendom.

Essential reading for students of domestic terrorism

In Bad Company: America's Terrorist Underground by Mark S. Hamm (Professor of Criminology, Indiana State University) is a timely, ground breaking, seminal work of impressive scholarship and expertise. Professor Hamm carefuly and meticulously presents an informative survey of one of the most important and potentially lethal American clandestine paramilitary underground organizations -- The Aryan Republican Army (ARA). This was the group associated with Timothy McVeigh and embraces a violent neo-Nazi subculture that compels domestic terrorist activities and attacks against their fellow Americans. In Bad Company presents a complete history of the ARA, including the troubled life histories of its founders, profiles of "foot soldiers" in the movement, the role of the White Supremacy movement and Christian identity in support of a range of criminal acts ranging from tax evasion to assassination. In Bad Company is essential reading for students of domestic terrorism and is as timely as today's newspaper headlines.

Compelling reading

Much of "In Bad Company" centers on possible links between Tim McVeigh and the Aryan Republican Army -- and examines a multiple John Doe No. 2 theory that will keep you awake nights.All in all, a well-written, fast-paced -- and extremely disturbing book.
