54:46Now PlayingThe current war on terror has much in common with the Cold War’s Red Scare, and instances of extremism creeping into the mainstream go back at least to the 1820s and the anti-Mason and Anti-Illuminati movements. Burt, a widely published journalist specializing in American history and politics who is currently at Yale Law School, combines astute political analysis and vivid narratives to trace the heritage of American vigilance against the secret organizations and conspiracies that periodically threaten the nation.
