lkhans 's review for:
The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War
by Jeff Sharlet
challenging
informative
reflective
medium-paced
A very enjoyable book, but the book is structured a bit oddly. About 1/3 of the book is essays on musicians, and about 2/3 of the book is on the author's road trip across American interviewing militia members and conspiracy theorists. Both parts of the book are very good, but there's not a lot of connective tissue between the music essays and the militia essays. The music essays at the beginning and end of the book were the high points for me.
