Them: Adventures with Extremists Summary

Them: Adventures with Extremists by Jon Ronson

Funny and compulsively readable Louis Theroux

What if a tiny, shadowy elite rule the world from a secret room? In Them Jon Ronson sets out to find this room, with the help of the extremists Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen that believe in it. Along the way, he is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and witnesses international CEOs and politicians participate in a bizarre pagan ritual in the forests of northern California.

A Sunday Times bestseller and the book that launched Jon Ronsons inimitable career, Them is an eye-opening outrageously funny exploration of extremism, which makes both author and reader think twice about the looking-glass world of us and them . . .

Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
