Wrapped in the Flag: A Personal History of America's Radical Right | 
pickClaire Connor‘s memoir about her parents‘ lifelong affiliation with the John Birch Society was eye opening as it described the transition from conservatives to leadership positions in JBS, as they become true believers of every conspiracy theory promulgated by Robert Welsh, was truly frightening. I was vaguely aware of JBS in the early 60s, but I was never aware of just how far right wing it was. Not great literature, but an important read for me.
