Max BlumenthalFor his investigative reporting on the Christian right and the conservative movement, historian Rick Perlstein described Blumenthal in the New York Times Book Review as "a brave and resourceful reporter adept at turning over rocks that public-relations-savvy Christian conservative leaders would prefer remain undisturbed." Newsday columnist Ellis Henican wrote that Blumenthal "investigates the religious right for the Nation magazine and knows this territory better than any journalist alive." His muckraking debut, Republican Gomorrah, was a national bestseller that Ambassador Joe Wilson called "a powerful study of right-wing extremism" and Religion Dispatches called "a memorable example of investigative journalism and social narrative" and "a stirring trumpet call." Rick Perlstein of The New York Times Book Review called Blumenthal "a brave and resourceful reporter adept at turning over rocks that public-relations-savvy Christian conservative leaders would prefer remain undisturbed."
