Description: "Survivalists. The word conjures dark images: a little-traveled rural road; surly sleeveless extras from the film Deliverance, shotguns cradled in their arms; a snarling Doberman on a rusty chain guarding a fortified shelter. We don't think to look for survivalists among movie executives or engineers, physicians or other professionals. But we should, as Richard Mitchell shows in Dancing at Armageddon.

Mitchell takes us inside a movement that is increasingly occupying the national consciousness, into a compelling, hidden world, far more connected to the chaos of modern life than its caricature as a freakish antigovernment activity would suggest."--BOOK JACKET.
