Since then, the club has lurched from one fiasco to another, putting an end to any talk that we have now entered into a new era of professional leadership.

Instead, the Dallas Mavericks extended the series at least one more game with a 122-84 trouncing of the visiting Celtics.

That was a long time ago.

To assume that Arthur Goldwag’s The Politics of Fear: The Peculiar Persistence of American Paranoia is a simple review of already well-trod contemporary politics would be a serious mistake. The short (284-page) work offers thoughtful and important insights on a country he describes as “marinated in conspiracy theory.” (4) Goldwag takes his reader on a journey that is vast in its historical depth, and sometimes breathtakingly disturbing.
