Summary "In his new book, STOP MASS HYSTERIA, #1 NYT bestselling author Michael Savage calls out the mass hysteria mongers and their methods, and shows Americans that we must look to history to understand the present, and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past."--Publisher's annotation.
Contents We've reached a new mass hysteria inflection point -- The history and mechanics of mass hysteria -- Mass hysteria: anarchy's secret weapon -- From Plymouth Rock to City Hall: the seeds and blossoms of mass hysteria -- From Salem to CNN: how hysteria taught us to anesthetize ourselves -- From assassins to generals: mass amnesia and lunacy of marijuana advocacy -- From war to peace: the enemy without becomes the enemy within -- From peace to war: hysteria creates seismic shifts in America -- From regional war to prohibition: hysteria outside the trenches -- From Reds to Fascists: global threats produce greater hysteria -- From Commies to comics: congressional witch hunts destroy lives and careers -- From Catholics to flower power: when everyone had a pulpit -- From gas lines to Reagan: not all hysteria is manufactured -- From consumables to climate change: the nation creates new venues for hysteria -- From treason to tomorrow: mass hysteria on overdrive.
Summary Social and economic issues, even national security, have become loud, violent flashpoints for political rivals in the government, in the media and on the streets. Savage not only deconstructs the Left's unhinged response to traditional American values, but takes the reader on an unprecedented journey through mass hysteria's long history in the United States. He recounts the many times collective insanity has gripped the American public, and shows how it was often prompted by sinister politicians with ulterior motives. -- Adapted from jacket.
