HOLY TERROR - Classic Edition: The Fundamentalist War on America's Freedoms in Religion, Politics, and Our Private Lives (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780964765047)

NEW YORK/NOV 1, 2024 - In the 1980s, religion and politics, two forces that affect all our lives every day, locked arms in a concerted effort to seize power in government and overturn America's most basic constitutional guarantees: freedom of choice, the right of privacy, and the separation of church and state. Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman were the first investigative journalists to expose this ruthless new crusade of "intimidation, manipulation and control in the name of religion" that has grown into a national and global conflagration.

Now the authors' acclaimed 1982 book, Holy Terror: The Fundamentalist War on America's Freedoms in Religion, Politics, and Our Private Lives, is back in a new "classic edition" from Stillpoint Press. Holy Terror chronicles the rise of the fundamentalist right in real time, as the authors crisscross the country and interview people on all sides of the issues: from targeted senators and congressmen to disillusioned "born-again" Christians appalled by the new political thrusts of their faith, and others who suffered mental and emotional trauma at the hands of repressive fundamentalist churches and political organizations.

In their new preface, the authors cite important developments that have occurred since their book appeared and they note: "the fires of Holy Terror have not abated."

So much that the authors feared and foresaw has come to pass. More timely today than four decades ago, their provocative findings are sure to inform and enlighten readers of every age, faith and political persuasion.
