Kruse tells a big and important story about the mingling of religion and politics since the 1930s. --New York Times Book Review Fascinating. --Washington Post An important and convincing reminder that the roots of Christianity were cultivated well before the era of the religious right. --Wall Street Journal An illuminating addition to the growing field of the history of American conservatism and capitalism, as well as a vibrant study of the way cultural influence works-one that will make it impossible to take for granted the small print on the back of a dollar bill ever again....
