The Family
A journalist's penetrating and controversial look at the untold story of Christian fundamentalism's most elite organisation- a self-described 'invisible' global network dedicated to a religion of power for the powerful. They are 'the Family' - fundamentalism's avant-garde, waging spiritual war in the halls of American power and around the globe. They consider themselves the 'new chosen'- congressmen, generals and foreign dictators who meet in confidential 'cells', to pray and plan for a 'leadership led by God', to be won not by force but through 'quiet diplomacy'. Jeff Sharlet is the only journalist to have reported from inside its walls. The Family is about the other half of American fundam...
Millennial Dreams and Apocalyptic Nightmares
The Religious Right came to prominence in the early 1980s, but it was born during the early Cold War. Evangelical leaders like Billy Graham, driven by a fierce opposition to communism, led evangelicals out of the political wilderness they'd inhabited since the Scopes trial and into a much more active engagement with the important issues of the day. How did the conservative evangelical culture move into the political mainstream? Angela Lahr seeks to answer this important question. She shows how evangelicals, who had felt marginalized by American culture, drew upon their eschatological belief in the Second Coming of Christ and a subsequent glorious millennium to find common cause with more mai...

Mellan kaos och kontroll
Den svenska stormaktstiden förändrade livet för undersåtarna på många sätt. Det nya Sverige ville på allvar bli en del av Europa – nya landområden fogades till riket, nya städer grundlades och adelns herresäten skulle nu kunna visa upp karaktärsdrag av en stormakt i Europas mitt. Maktens krav ökade på både befolkningen och de styrande. I Mellan kaos och kontroll möter vi människorna i en av stormaktstidens största organisationer och arbetsgivare: den svenska flottan. Under perioden spelade flottan en avgörande roll för förmågan att hålla ihop det svenska väldet. Den hade förgreningar över hela riket, sysselsatte tusentals människor och var en angelägenhet för v...
