For years, Luke Mogelson reported on wars in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. Turmoil, violence and social fragmentation were themes of his work.
But after nearly a decade abroad, he started to notice similar discord in the U.S.
In a new book, Mogelson depicts the growth and evolution of domestic right-wing extremism, from paramilitary groups in Michigan to the Jan. 6 insurrection, and puts it in context with years of reporting on foreign wars.
We sit down with the author and award-winning war correspondent for the New Yorker to understand America's surge in right-wing extremism and what insights can be gleaned from years of international reporting.
