Quotations: “One goal of my writing is to seek to understand segments of society which have become disenfranchised with our culture, including antigovernment groups, prisoners, minorities, et cetera. Unfortunately, today’s media is driven by the pursuit of advertising dollars and there is rarely time to do significant social reporting. I believe this fact is rapidly polarizing various segments of our society. My goal as a journalist is to foster understanding and subsequently to create dialogue between people who view themselves in opposition to one another. As far as my writing process is concerned, I tend to do research, followed by a series of articles which eventually turns into a book-length manuscript.”
Quotes from others about the person
"It's so important that Americans understand the anger that fuels militias and drives good citizens to suicidal and murderous acts of desperation. Joel Dyer illuminates the terrible anguish of men and women whose farms are threatened with foreclosure and, without excusing their behavior, explains it with compassion. But the greatest value of this book is in the forewarning it provides to destitute family farmers, about the hate-mongering opportunists who wait to prey on their shattered souls." - Mark Dowie
