Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy

Co-presented with KALW

Why have so many Americans turned against democracy? In this deeply reported book, Katherine Stewart takes us to conferences of conspiracy-mongers, backroom strategy gatherings, and services at extremist churches, and profiles the people who want to tear it all down.
