"A provocative look at the science and psychology behind fear-based
politics.... Abramsky presents a clearly written synthesis of
science and sociology. A thoughtful progressive feint against the
vulgar fearmongering of the moment."--Kirkus Reviews
"In this fascinating examination of fear, journalist Abramsky (The
American Way of Poverty) reveals how it has infected the collective
American psyche, influencing everything from child rearing to
government. ...Readers interested in groupthink, sociology, or
seeking insight into the current state of American politics will
devour this book."--Library Journal
