Customer Reviews

A top pick for any college-level journalism library.

Gonzo journalist Harmon Leon infiltrated the right-wing movement and published REPUBLICAN LIKE ME, a hard-hitting yet humor-laden take on Republican sentiments and insider experiences: now THE INFILTRATOR: MY UNDERCOVER EXPLOITS IN RIGHT-WING AMERICA arrives to expose more Republican views draws on Leon's underground experiences with O.J. Simpson, a civilian vigilante group on patrol for illegal aliens, and another group which eventually promotes him president. As an amazing story of 'infiltration journalist' techniques, it's also a top pick for any college-level journalism library. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

Damn! This is funny stuff!

Harmon Leon, perhaps the most daring infiltration journalist of this or any other time. I had to stop reading several times because I was laughing so hard, though a lot of the places he ventures to (Minutemen, Patriotic Pro-war skinheads, Promise Keepers) are really disturbing under the surface. The Infiltrator: My Undercover Exploits In Right Wing America is a good look at the modern state of our country.
