Going Dark: The Secret Social Lives of Extremists

There are two things that I wish that this author did:
1. Write more about her experiences undercover in the extremist groups instead of the process to get in
2. More about why people turn to extremism, instead of just focusing on them after they’ve already gone too far
What this book does well is give you a base understanding of how extremist groups operate, from recruitment to mobilization. You get glimpses of what characteristics extremists share, no matter their type of beliefs. The most powerful part of the book was def the Trad Wives chapter, as the author’s research identity leads to a very interesting personal perspective of the indoctrination aspect of extremist groups.
(Stole this off my roommates table after seeing the cover. Instantly obsessed)
