Right-Wing Resurgence · How a Domestic Terrorist Threat Is Being Ignored

In 2008 there were 149 militia groups in the United States. In 2009, that

number more than tripled to 512, and now there are nearly 600. In Right Wing

Resurgence, author Daryl Johnson offers a detailed account of the growth of

right wing extremism and militias in the United States and the ever-increasing

threat they pose. The author is an acknowledged expert in this area and has

been an intelligence analyst working for several federal agencies for nearly

20 years. The book is also a first-hand, insider s account of the DHS Right

Wing Extremism report from the person who wrote it. It is a truthful depiction

of the facts, circumstances, and events leading up to the leak of this

official intelligence assessment. The leak and its aftermath have had an

adverse effect on homeland security. Because of its alleged mishandling of the

situation, the Department s reputation has declined in the intelligence and

law enforcement communities and the analytical integrity of the Office of

Intelligence and Analysis was undermined.Most importantly, the nation s

security has been compromised during a critical time when a significant

domestic terrorist threat is growing. This book is replete with case studies

and interviews with leaders which reveal their agendas, how they recruit, and

how they operate around the country. It presents a comprehensive account of an

ever-growing security concern at a time when this threat is only beginning to

be realized, and is still largely ignored in many circles.
