A riveting behind-the-scenes account of the new stars of the far right—and how they’ve partnered with billionaire donors, ideologues, and political insiders to build the most powerful youth movement the American right has ever seen.

In Raising Them Right, a gripping, character-driven read and investigative tour de force, Kyle Spencer chronicles the people and organizations working to lure millions of unsuspecting young American voters into the far-right fold—revealing their highly successful efforts to harness social media in alarming ways and capitalize on the democratization of celebrity culture.
