Abstract

Communications studies scholar Camille Kaminski Lewis reviews Carmen Celestini’s God’s Angry Men: The Political Legacy of the John Birch Society, a history of Robert Welch’s anti-Communist organization that relies on extensive archival work. God’s Angry Men focuses on the John Birch Society’s impact on politics, including the 1964 Barry Goldwater campaign, the rise of the Religious Right in the 1980s, and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.
