Them: Adventures with Extremists

<p><b><i>Them</i> is an eye-opening, outrageously funny exploration of extremism, which makes both author and reader think twice about the looking-glass world of 'us' and 'them' . . .</b><br><br><b>A <i>Sunday Times</i> bestseller and the book that launched Jon Ronson's inimitable career.</b><br><br><i>My worryingly paradoxical thought process could be summarized thus: Thank God I don't believe in the secret rulers of the world. Imagine what the secret rulers of the world might do to me if I did.</i><br><br>What if a tiny, shadow elite rule the world from a secret room? In <i>Them</i> Jon Ronson sets out to find this room, with the help of the extremists &ndash; Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen &ndash; that believe in it. Along the way, he is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and witnesses international CEOs and politicians participate in a bizarre pagan ritual in the forests of northern California.<br><br><b>'This book is chilling and hilarious by turns.' - <i>Independent</i></b><br><br><b>'A funny and compulsively readable picaresque adventure through a paranoid shadow world.' - Louis Theroux,<i> Guardian</i></b></p>
