Publisher's Synopsis
Glenn Beck is best known for his acerbic wit and turn of speech on the Fox News Channel. He has risen from obscurity and overcome several personal tragedies to host his own talk-radio show, heard three hours a day by both adoring and abhorring audiences across the United States. His "pull you up by your own bootstraps" philosophy has attracted a group of devoted followers who look to him for guidance on political issues ranging from social welfare to military spending. On the other hand, his aggressive, often offensive delivery style has created an equally large group of detractors who accused him of everything from being a conspiracy theorist to a fascist. Not surprisingly, the more people argue, the more popular and profitable he becomes. But what is the real story behind Glen Beck, and should you be afraid? This short biography will tell you what you need to know.
