Summary:

On the Fault Line examines the American Patriot Movement--a broad, right-wing social movement that includes militias, Second Amendment activists, tax protestors, and individuals who drop out of the system. For all those interested in the fluctuating systems of power within the United States, Gallaher's work proves to be a fascinating and unique analysis.
