A brave and resourceful reporter adept at turning over rocks that public-relations-savvy Christian conservative leaders would prefer remain undisturbed."
-- "New York Times Book Review"
"Max Blumenthal's bold and brash reporting style should not overshadow his keen understanding of the extremist ideology that passes for 'conservatism' in America today. A witty writer who thinks for himself, he shows the mainstream media where the story is, not vice versa. And his short videos have transformed the conservative crack-up into must-see TV."
-- "Joe Conason, bestselling political journalist"
"With scarcely more than a pith helmet, a notebook, and a tattered copy of Escape from Freedom, Erich Fromm's great study of authoritarian psychology, the dauntless Max Blumenthal set forth years ago to explore the dank forests of American Christianism. Now he has returned to civilization, bringing back a fine collection of shrunken heads and a riveting account of a religio-political subculture that's even weirder than you thought it was. Republican Gomorrah is an irresistible combination of anthropology and psychopathology that exerts the queasy fascination of (let's face it) something very like pornography."
-- "New Yorker"
Terrific...Blumenthal does two things that no one else I have read manages to do-the first of these is that he organizes the network...Right wing psychology is the other thing that Blumenthal has to offer...an eye-opener.
