Reveals a political trend that threatens both our form of government and our species. - Timothy Snyder, author of ON TYRANNYRiveting.... Want to understand how so many Americans turned against truth? Read this book. Nancy Maclean, author of DEMOCRACY IN CHAINSIn 1981, emboldened by Ronald Reagans election, a group of some fifty Republican operatives, evangelicals, oil barons, and gun lobbyists met in a Washington suburb to coordinate their attack on civil liberties and the social safety net. These men and women called their coalition the Council for National Policy. Over four decades, this elite club has become a strategic nerve center for channeling money and mobilizing votes behind the scenes. Its secretive membership rolls represent a high-powered roster of fundamentalists, oligarchs, and their allies, from Oliver North, Ed Meese, and Tim LaHaye in the Councils early days to Kellyanne Conway, Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins, and the DeVos and Mercer families today.In Shadow Network, award-winning author and media analyst Anne Nelson chronicles this astonishing history and illuminates the coalitions key figures and their tactics. She traces how the collapse of American local journalism laid the foundation for the Council for National Policys information war and listens in on the hardline broadcasting its members control. And she reveals how the group has collaborated with the Koch brothers to outfit Radical Right organizations with state-of-the-art apps and a shared pool of captured voter data - outmaneuvering the Democratic Party in a digital arms race whose result has yet to be decided.In a time of stark and growing threats to our most valued institutions and democratic freedoms, Shadow Network is essential reading.

One day in August 2004, as I drove down the street in my hometown of Stillwater, Oklahoma, I tuned the radio dial to a new station. I settled on a random call-in show and sat back to listen. The host was denouncing the candidacy of John Kerry in terms that went something like this. He legalized gay marriage in Massachusetts, he said. Thats exactly what hell do all over the country if he gets elected president of the United States.

An anxious elderly woman called in. Ive been married to my husband more than forty yearsare you saying my marriage would be in danger?

Thats right, he answered. John Kerry is threatening the sanctity of marriage, including yours. So you better get out and vote.

When I arrived at my destination, I parked in the driveway to listen to the rest, just to make sure Id gotten it right. Id heard debates about same-sex marriage in New York, but none of them suggested that it would challenge the legitimacy of heterosexual marriage. But I dismissed the broadcast as a regional curiosity. After all, I was in a middling town in a deep-red state, and I thought the influence of a radio preacher was unlikely to reach beyond a local audience.

The following years brought historic milestones, including the inauguration of our first African American president, environmental protections, and the legalization of same-sex marriage. But the same period witnessed a social and political backlash that took aim at the very institutions of American government, leading to the rise of the Tea Party, obstructionist Republican majorities in Congress, and the stunning election of Donald Trump in 2016.
