| 520 | |a "Gordon Kahl was a hardworking farmer and a God-fearing patriot. He was also an outspoken leader of the Posse Comitatus, an extreme right-wing organization born of despair and nurtured by racism and terrorism. Kahl's tax protests had earned him one jail sentence; when marshals came to arrest him for violating probation, Kahl, with his son, killed three men and became a fugitive from the law. Bitter Harvest captures the intense, frightening fervor of the Posse Comitatus, of farmers driven to extremes by the financial crisis that destroyed their livelihood and lives. As James Corcoran, who grew up just miles from Kahl's North Dakota farm, recreates Kahl's terrorist campaigns and his flight across the Midwest (where many sheltered him from government agents), he raises disturbing questions about the cherished values we always thought were safely enshrined in our small towns and family farms"--Back cover. | ||
