このコンテンツについて
“Vivid, frightening, and fascinating…This book blew me away and opened my eyes.”—Walter Isaacson, author of The Code Breaker and Elon Musk
On August 21, 1992, shots rang out while federal agents were surveilling a cabin in Boundary County, Idaho as part of an operation to arrest Randy Weaver—a reclusive, mountain-dwelling survivalist—for failure to appear in court on a gun charge. When Weaver finally surrendered to the authorities eleven days later, his wife, son, and dog lay dead, as did a US Marshal. Ever since, America has been trying to make sense of what happened on Ruby Ridge. Today, the question could not be more urgent, as the shock waves from Ruby Ridge have amplified and compounded, cracking the very foundations of our democracy.
In End of Days, Chris Jennings explains the significance of this historic siege by setting the story of the Weaver family within the long history of apocalyptic Christianity in the United States, illuminating the ways in which that faith has gradually transformed the nation. The strain of doomsday Christianity that gripped the Weavers, he shows, was grounded in a particular reading of biblical prophecy that can be traced back to the 1870s and up through the twentieth-century rise of Christian fundamentalism to the right-wing conspiracism that now defines American society and politics. The events at Ruby Ridge acted as an accelerant for this spreading worldview, and are essential to understanding the crisis that our nation confronts today.
批評家のレビュー
“In this vivid, frightening, and fascinating account of the 1992 siege at Ruby Ridge, Chris Jennings reveals how the long history of apocalyptic faith and end-of-times theology have fueled wild conspiracy theories in America. If you want to understand our troubled and fraught times, you need to grapple with the forces that led to Ruby Ridge. This book blew me away and opened my eyes.”—Walter Isaacson, author of THE CODE BREAKER and ELON MUSK
“Vivid, absorbing, and elegantly narrated, End of Days explores American fundamentalist religion, with its apocalyptic visions of carnage, through the remarkable story of the Weaver family. The conspiracy theories of today, as Jennings makes clear, are rooted in the demon-haunted world of yesterday's zealots.”—Katherine Stewart, author of THE POWER WORSHIPPERS and MONEY, LIES, AND GOD

“With eloquence and insight, Chris Jennings has given us an absorbing portrait of a moment whose implications still shape American life and politics. This is an important story, beautifully told.”—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of And There Was Light and The Soul of America
“Intellectually rich, superbly written, compulsively readable, End of Days tells the story of Ruby Ridge so well that you will find it hard not to sympathize with its terrible protagonists, whose conspiratorial theology has migrated in three decades from the lunatic fringe to the seat of government.”—George Packer, National Book Award-winning author of The Unwinding and The Emergency

“What happened at Ruby Ridge more than three decades ago was a travesty. But Chris Jennings maps the historical roots of this cascade of stupidities with a clear-minded intelligence and stupendous reporting. America is awash in yet another era of apocalyptic, messianic, and conspiratorial passions—which makes End of Days a most compelling read.”—Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize–winning coauthor of American Prometheus and Director of the Leon Levy Center for Biography
