Pat Robertson is one of the most controversial men in America. From minister claiming he diverted a hurricane through prayer[1] to the most successful third-party candidate of the 20th Century to now being a heartbeat away from being the most powerful man on Earth, his unlikely rise has been always unpredictable and often terrifying. He's been compared to both Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler so often that both are common jokes on both sides of the aisle.

But who is he, really? And how did America go from the Sagan Era to today's often all-too-literal 'culture war' in just five short years? In these pages, Keith Olbermann takes you on a journey, a story of powerful leaders and zealous soldiers of faith. He brings you into the mind of Pat Robertson, the unlikely Vice President, to see why he says what he does. And he tells you how the 700 Clubber shaped America as it is today.
