They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency Hardcover – July 12, 2022

Mr. Nance pulls no punches in spelling out the dangers of far right extremists to American democracy and civil society in general. I was aware of some of the general aspects of this topic from other books, but this really got into more depth about who is who and what they want to do. It is truly scary how many nut jobs there are with guns who have visions of destroying government, provoking a race war, eliminating Jews, and killing liberals in order to save America. If you don't come away looking over your shoulder after reading the book, you missed the point. Nance is no fan of Trump and he makes that quite clear. The book is well constructed and well written and an easy read. I found myself marking up paragraph after paragraph in some sections -- something I reserve for books I want to refer back to. A definite "buy."

Malcolm Nance is spot on in this book. As a former intelligence agent and author, Nance is honest and trustworthy (and very very knowledgeable!).

Though the material is complex and very important, it is readable and very interesting, and entertaining if you think that the possible loss of our democracy is entertaining.Nance is an Expert. And he cares very much, as I do, and I wager most intelligent and freedom loving Americans do. But our democracy is under severe threat as maybe never before, even during the Civil War days. This is, I would say compulsory reading, if you care.I have heard Nance speak and answer questions around this topic for some time. He is often on MSNBC. When I hear that he will be on, I drop what I am doing and I listen. I listen very carefully. And so I am reading this book very carefully -very very carefully.We must act now to counter this threat. We must not underestimate this threat and just go on with our lives as usual. Please read this.

Bought as a gift for my husband. He said it was a well-written book that takes a real look at the possibility of a rebellion on US soil lead by US citizens against our own people. The thought of this happening is unnerving. The reality is to scary and real to just brush it under the rug.

I have watched Malcolm Nance as a commentator and have been impressed. The state of America's politics is frightening and even more frightening is to read that the majority of Republican candidates running in the mid terms on all levels support trump and his claims of The Steal. Sadly, most Americans are not aware that the insurrection of Jan 6 was a mere appetizer for trump's cult and the worst is yet to come. Mr. Nance sets a compelling fact based narrative for why Democrats need to begin taking Q Anon and the right wing forces promoting lies and violence much more seriously.

Scariest book I ever read by one of our worlds brightest scholars!

I have been listening to Malcolm Nance's assessments of the state of our nation for the past couple of years. This was the first book of his I have purchased. I was drawn in immediately.This is a hard book to read only because the devolution occurring amongst many persons is frightening. I am a Gen X individual and the overt racist behaviors and violent intent of hate groups is not how I was raised.Some may say this is sensationalism run amok. I don't see how. January 6, 2021 proved that. The warnings of this book should be taken seriously.

This is one of Nance's best and clearly defined books. I've read 3 of his books and this was the easiest to follow, maybe because I lived and watched the attempted coup and also the garbage dump Trump made of America during his regime of presidency.

Looking at the publication date I hoped that the book will mainly focus on the current presidential term. It turned out that half of the book is a boring and often reported narration of the January 6 incident. The author tried to link all extremism in the US to Donald Trump’s presidency, even if the events happened in 1980s or 1990s. He also blamed Trump for all covid-related chaos without giving him any credit for making sure that the vaccine was created within one year, a record time, during his Presidency. It was a total waste of money and time.

Malcolm Nance writes in clear, direct language about the forces that led to the January 6th insurgency, more than a year before it happened. He used extremist's words in their own forums and safe spaces to predict their actions. He breaks down the groups that came together on that day, their similarities and subtle differences between them. Great, but very depressing, read

Nance is very engaging as a speaker and writer. He tells it like it is in hopes of opening the eyes of his fellow countrymen to the dangers of the cult of trump. A must read.

Thank you to Malcom Nance. This book is on point, relevant and should scare the hell out of you! His other books are also excellent and informative!
