The Flag and the Cross

The Flag and the Cross

by Philip S. Gorski, Samuel L. Perry

"Read this last week and recommend it because the book clearly defines and succinctly tracks the history of white christian nationalism with new survey data. Those who wonder why the "religious right" could ever support Trump will find the answer here."
