THEM began as a book about different kinds of extremists but after Jon had got to know some of them -- Islamic fundamentalists neo-Nazis Ku Klux Klansmen -- he found that they had one oddly similar belief: that a tiny shadowy elite rule the world from a secret room. In THEM Jon sets out with the help of the extremists to locate that room. The journey is as creepy as it is comic & along the way Jon is chased by men in dark glasses unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp & witnesses international CEOs & politicians participate in a bizarre pagan ritual in the forests of northern California. THEM is a fascinating & entertaining exploration of extremism in which Jon learns some alarming things about the looking-glass world of 'them' & 'us'. Are the extremists on to something? Or has Jon become one of THEM?
