"Rage on the Right" places the militia movements squarely in the context of American culture, rather than at the fringes. Their ideologies are significantly influenced by American values and ideals, although these are given a distinctive spin through conspiracy theories, racial and gender hatred, and a idiosyncratic interpretation of the Constitution. The result is a relatively coherent system of beliefs that must be understood in order to understand militia actions and possible responses. In examining three explosive examples of militia activity and official reactions - Ruby Ridge, Waco and Oklahoma City - Lane Crothers takes the militias seriously, finding them the result of the American system, with all the risks and opportunities it presents.
