As a look back this gives the reader a better understanding that what is happening is not something that only just sprouted. This is valuable because too many of us present "solutions" that treat it as a "because of Trump" problem or a "reaction to Obama" problem. These two things are simply the more recent catalysts for far-right terrorism to come back into prominence. And while our current technology certainly contributes to making this a potent threat to democracy, and even just peace, social media is again just a more recent element of a long-simmering issue.
What I especially found appealing was the chapter that offered ideas on solving our current problems while laying the foundation to minimize the opportunities for future extremism to radicalize so many people to violence. I am often skeptical, both because of my support of free speech and because many proposed solutions don't seem workable, of solutions in the books I've read on the topic. Hoffman and Ware make suggestions that try to balance the very freedoms we want to keep at the core of our democracy while reigning in the blatant abuse of those rights and freedoms. They also present these ideas with enough detail to see how they would work while also admitting that coming up with specific policies and laws will take negotiation and debate. In other words, rather than present quick fixes that aren't practical they present a framework (short-, mid-, and long-range policies) within which we must get our legislators (as well as private and nonprofit groups) begin to act.
I would recommend this to anyone, no matter where you are on the political spectrum (unless, of course, you prefer authoritarianism to democracy), who wants to not only maintain but improve our democracy in the United States. The writing, while detailed and fully documented, is accessible and actually very engaging (considering the topic).
