Covering everything from Robertson's unique position of influence to the truth behind the caricature often painted of him, Harrell weaves all these resources together in this utterly captivating story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"I have studied and written about the charismatic movement of which Pat Robertson has been an important part for forty years, and I have come to know well many of his good friends who were leaders in that movement. I have always been struck by the juxtaposition of the gracious, professional atmosphere at the lovely campus of CBN and Regent University in Virginia Beach and the popular perception that the organizations founded by Robertson are sinister to the core, led by 'the most dangerous man in America, ' a 'wacko, ' 'fascist' extremist. This seemed to me to be an irony worth exploring. How could a man so respected, indeed revered, by seemingly bright and reasonable people around the world who know him well be perceived by so many critics as an inconsequential buffoon?\" \u003cbr\u003e -- \u003ci\u003efrom the preface\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Edwin Harrell Jr.\u003c\/b\u003e (1930-2021) was an American historian and the Daniel F.
