Reviews for William Dudley Pelley: A Life in Right-Wing Extremism and the Occult
Likely to stand as the authoritative work on Pelley. [Beekman] has done a wonderful job of constructing the complex narrative of Pelley's life - a life with some striking continuities but also numerous zigzags. - Michael Barkun, author of A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America and Religion and the Racist Right
