Zoe Wilkerson’s Reviews > American Messiahs: False Prophets of a Damned Nation > Status Update

This book seems to market itself as connecting six different cults across US history to explain how the country is primed for cult creation. I feel that’s giving this book a lot of credit. Having reached 4 of the 6 cases, there’s very little discussion of underlying trends that created followings and more discussion of the personalities involved. A good resource for certain groups but hardly comprehensive.
