It began with a frantic 911 call from a woman in a dusty Arizona border town. A gang claiming to be affiliated with the Border Patrol had shot her husband and daughter. It was initially assumed that the murders were products of border drug wars ravaging the Southwest until the leader of one of the more prominent offshoots of the Minutemen movement was arrested for plotting the home invasion as part of a scheme to finance a violent antigovernment border militia.

And Hell Followed With Her: Crossing to the Dark Side of the American Border is award-winning journalist David Neiwert's riveting account of the life and death of America's Minutemen--and the terrifying story and psychology of movement leader Shawna Forde. A compulsive and brilliant portrait of cold-blooded killers and true believers, And Hell Followed With Her is at once a horrifying crime story and a frontline report on America's nativist foot soldiers.

"In a masterwork reminiscent of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, David Neiwert tells the gripping story of a far-right underworld awash in criminality, racism, and violence -- except that it happened here and every word is true."
-- Joe Conason, author of the New York Times best seller Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth and editor-in-chief of The National Memo

"There is no more dogged or more courageous chronicler of the radical American Right than Dave Neiwert. In this latest work, he has found a human tragedy that is both utterly heartbreaking and utterly infuriating. He is the polestar by which we navigate the great distance between what we claim to be as a people, and what we truly are. A devastating, and extremely important, book."
-- Charles P. Pierce, Esquire Magazine, author of Idiot America: How Stupidity Became A Virtue In The Land Of The Free

"David Neiwert's latest book is a cogent and comprehensive look at contemporary border vigilante groups, built around that movement's most infamous crime -- the murder of a Latino man and his 9-year-old daughter by a deranged nativist leader and her followers. This important volume reveals the stark racism and violence at the core of a movement that claims disingenuously to be defending America against dangerous foreigners.
-- Mark Potok, Senior Fellow, Southern Poverty Law Center

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A scouring investigation of the unorthodox methods of the anti-immigration Minuteman Project . . . . A sweeping account of some of [its] major players.”
Kirkus Reviews

“A taut true-crime story told with a measure of gravitas, gripping as much for the grisly particulars of a violent murder as for the fascinating context of the anti-immigrant movement playing out along the U.S.-Mexico border....As the national debate on immigration heats up again, this is a must-read for those who seek a deeper understanding of the issues and emotions behind the rhetoric.”
Seattle Times

“David Neiwert has not only earned his investigative chops over the past decade or so by exploring the dangerous side of right-wing extremism—he's proven himself to be one of the more lyrical and elegant writers on the beat. …Neiwert's insights after covering right-wing extremism movements, his gift with language, his considerable storytelling skills all combine to make And Hell Followed With Her a near compulsive—and frightening—read. His ability to combine the history of these various organizations with the more immediate crime, and his analysis of the mindset of those who spent their lives immersed in the delusions of the right wing, make this book an important one, one with implications that reach far beyond one woman, two deaths and one border town….a radically scary wake-up call of forewarning.”
Daily Kos

“The pace is gripping as well as informative in ways human and political…”
Oregonian

“A taut true-crime story told with a measure of gravitas, gripping as much for the grisly particulars of a violent murder as for the fascinating context of the anti-immigrant movement playing out along the U. S-Mexico border....As the national debate on immigration heats up again, this is a must-read for those who seek a deeper understanding of the issues and emotions behind the rhetoric.”
Seattle Times

I first heard of this book on "Daily Kos"

April 10, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

and realized when the shooting of a state representive, Gabby Giffords, there was a short story, on the news, about a child that was murdered also in Arizona, and the Latino people were asking why that wasn't being covered? why was there no outcry for this family? This book gives you all the details. It gives you background on all the people involved with this tragedy,and you just might remember some of them, others, hopefully you won't forget.This is a book that everyone should read and try and understand where this country might be heading. I usually sign off my reviews with "Kisses" but instead I will sign off "Be Well".

Hell Followed Her Too Far

June 11, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This investigative story gave me deep insights into the Minuteman movement. I appreciated the scholarship and passion that the author clearly evidenced for unearthing, connecting, and presenting the facts. However, the narrative lost its way and me as a reader in the excessive backstory about Shawna Forde, a right wing radical who commits murder. Too bad for her victims that Shawna is given the major treatment here. By the time, the author meanders back to the crime at the heart of his story, he's run out of space and literary license to describe the victims in a meaningful way. The murder of an innocent schoolgirl nearly becomes a sidebar. The readers barely know her.

I suppose it's up to the reader.

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I am not enlightened by this in any way since I know the area and the author didn't even get the street name right. I was in hopes of some insight as to why this happened and the book left me with more questions than answers.

Minuteman expose

April 29, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've followed for several years David Neiwert's work in exposing and explaining anti-immigration extremist groups. This book combines a particular 'true crime' story with an in-depth look at the modern Minuteman movement.

An eye opener, for sure...

This book is well written and well researched. It opens your eyes to the real thinking behind the small-minded Minutemen movement and how the right wing press and reporters were mislead by evil people, and how they reported lies and misled the world..

Patriots and Minutemen?

April 11, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book lets you know that the effusive self description of these folks is just whitewash(in more ways than one). Informative, pulling no punches on any side, Neiwert does the kind of real journalism so deeply missed these days.

Shawna Forde Story

January 27, 2014

Format: Hardcover

The ‘her’ in this case is Shawna Forde and the hell she wrought was self-evolved from a young age. From a troubled life as an infant that eventually lead to teenage prostitution and more than a dozen arrests Shawna grafted and drifted through life until she found a belief, a desire that she could control and make her own, the protection of the borders of the United States at all costs.
Her very beliefs led to the down-spiral that her life evolved into and finally spiraled out of control. Heiwart introduces her to us as she and her band of ne'er -do-wells commitment a home invasion in the tiny Arizona town of Arivaca, murdering in cold blood the man of the house, his nine year old daughter and severely wounding and wife and mother. With broad stokes of description we are given a story that is as intriguing as any suspense novel, tightly woven around the facts behind this true-crime drama.
We are introduced to the Minuteman Project and given a superbly well researched history of history of the modern-day phenomena that sprung to new life after that fatal day that planes crashed into New York’s twin towers. And we are given a background on one of America’s last stalwart Wild West towns, the dusty burb of Arivaca, just twelve miles from the Mexico where a life of smuggling over the border, whether it was drugs or humans, is given a blind-eye or at least disregarded by the locals as normal for the region.
When the two elements finally combined they caused a combustible nativist explosion that led to a showdown from a private militia with the drug runners of area and blew wide open the true nature of a bigoted, psychopath and her delusionary hold on the border watching movement.
