In \u003ci\u003eThem,\u003c\/i\u003e journalist Jon Ronson has joined the extremists to track down the fabled secret room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a journalist and a Jew, Ronson was often considered one of \"Them\" but he had no idea if their meetings actually took place. Was he just not invited? \u003ci\u003eThem\u003c\/i\u003e takes us across three continents and into the secret room. Along the way he meets Omar Bakri Mohammed, considered one of the most dangerous men in Great Britain, PR-savvy Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Thom Robb, and the survivors of Ruby Ridge. He is chased by men in dark glasses and unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp. In the forests of northern California he even witnesses CEOs and leading politicians — like Dick Cheney and George Bush — undertake a bizarre owl ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRonson's investigations, by turns creepy and comical, reveal some alarming things about the looking-glass world of \"us\" and \"them.\" \u003ci\u003eThem\u003c\/i\u003e is a deep and fascinating look at the lives and minds of extremists.
