Them

Adventures with Extremists
Book • 2003
In this book, Jon Ronson delves into the world of extremism, meeting with Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen, and other groups who believe in a shadowy elite ruling the world from a secret room.

Ronson's investigations take him across three continents, where he encounters figures like Omar Bakri Mohammed, Thom Robb, and survivors of Ruby Ridge.

He experiences being chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in a Jihad training camp, and witnesses bizarre rituals involving CEOs and politicians.

The book offers a deep and fascinating look at the lives and minds of extremists, blending humor and creepiness to reveal the complexities of their world.
