      abstract = {Jeffrey Kaplan takes a provocative look at three  religiously based apocalyptic movements, their radical  doctrines, and their rejection of mainstream American  culture: the Christian Identity, whose members believe they  are the true Aryan descendants of Israeli biblical tribes;  Odinism and the related Asatru movement, which attempts to  reconstruct the practices of Norse-Germanic paganism; and  B'nai Noah, the anti-Christian movements in favor of God's  covenant with Noah. Kaplan describes how the groups  interact, probes the internal organizational friction, and  shows how watchdog groups like the Anti-Defamation League,  Klanwatch, and Cult Awareness Network monitor these groups'  activities. He argues that violence takes several forms,  which at its apex may culminate in millenarian violence,  but maintains that right-wing violence is primarily an  impulsive act carried out by part-time revolutionaries  against convenient targets or against that which represents  change in the status quo.},
