See all formats and editions

"Them: Adventures with Extremists" is a romp into the heart of darkness involving 12-foot lizard-men, PR-conscious Ku Klux Klansmen, Ian Paisley, Hollywood limousines, the legend of Ruby Ridge, Noam Chomsky, a harem of kidnapped sex slaves, David Icke, and Nicolae Ceausescu's shoes.

While Jon Ronson attempts to locate the secret room, he is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and witnesses CEOs and leading politicians undertake a bizarre pagan owl ritual in the forests of Northern California.

He also learns some alarming things about the looking-glass world of them and us.

Are the extremists right? Or has he become one of Them? This is a fascinating investigation into extremists of every stripe. 'A funny and compulsively readable picaresque adventure through a paranoid shadow world' - Louis Theroux, "Guardian". 'Very entertaining and very frightening' - "Q magazine".
