The militia threat

The militia threat
About this book
In this eye-opening look at the militia movement, Captain Robert L. Snow, a seasoned police officer and author of Stopping a Stalker, provides a chilling portrayal of the turmoil brewing across the nation, in cities and rural areas alike. As a cop he takes us behind the scenes where no one else can. Captain Snow paints a detailed portrait of the militiaman - a disgruntled white, lower-class male, perhaps unemployed and dissatisfied with his lot in life, who blames the government for all his problems.
Most shocking is when Snow exposes the truth behind who belongs to these militias and serves as their leaders - including high-ranking police officials and representatives from Congress! Finding camaraderie in numbers, militia members form tight-knit groups to thwart infiltrators and informants. We discover their adamant belief in conspiracy theories, their ill-conceived motives, and their paranoia. We investigate their extreme training tactics, use of illegal weapons, and survivalist credo.
