"The Mormons offer the largest single example of spiritually motivated utopian living in America today. Motivated by a faith native to the United States, they overcame persecution, assassination, and the terrors of the wilderness to create their heaven on earth in the desert. But rather than shrinking into their own enclaves, they became a vital missionary people, determined to share their vision of the best of all possible worlds." [From author's introduction]
