A Necessary Evil: A History of American Distrust of Government Paperback - 2002
by Garry Wills
In a provocative look at the essential role of government in American society, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills examines the roots of both mainstream and extremist distrust of government. Taking readers from the rancorous debates of the Founding Fathers through the Civil War to contemporary contretemps over gun control, abortion, and terrorist acts, he uses historical fact to destroy deeply embedded fictions.
First line
One of the dramatic developments of the 1990s was the emergence of self-styled militias training for guerrilla war against the federal government.
