The Minutemen, under Robert DePugh's leadership, existed for a relatively short period of years during the 1960s. They were a vicously anti-Communist, militant organization that believed a Comunist invasion of the United States was imminent, most likely through internal subversion. The organization advocated extremist tactics in what they believed was going to be a geurrilla war against communism on American soil. Eventually the Minutemen's extreme nature and propensity for violence brought them to the attention of law enforcement, most specifically the FBI. After Robert DePugh and other members were convicted of firearms violations and sent to prison, the leaderless organization faded into obscurity. The aim of this book is to provide an accurate historical record of the Minutemen because previous research concerning the Minutemen has often been severely biased against the organization. This book is for the reader who is interested in militant organizations and right-wing extremist groups.
