'Mulhall watches the extreme right revival from the inside - as an anti-fascist infiltrator
criss-crossing the global networks of modern fascism - but he brings a deep analytical focus.
By the end of it we understand one thing: the threat of a second fascist era is real.' Paul
Mason author of Postcapitalism'An urgent missive from the global frontlines of the fight
against fascism.' Nima Elbagir CNN Senior International Correspondent A terrifying and timely
look at the spread of far-right movements across the globeJoe Mulhall knows what it's like to
stare fascism in the face. For a decade often undercover at significant personal risk he has
investigated hate groups.He infiltrated a US white supremacist militia set up a fake Ku Klux
Klan branch has been on countless street marches with violent far-right groups across Europe
and got inside some of the most important 'alt-right' meetings ever held. Brazil India and the
US are still in thrall to authoritarian populism and far-right views have become steadily
normalised in mainstream politics. Mulhall's dramatic experiences on the front line of
anti-fascist activism coupled with his academic research clearly explain the roots of both
elected and non-elected far-right movements across the globe. Above all he concludes the far
right should not be dehumanised - they are normal people but with dangerous beliefs that can
be defeated.'Joe has had a unique view of the far right over the past decade as it transformed
from a marginal subculture into one of the defining political currents of our time. He
understands how these groups think and operate and is perfectly placed to guide readers
through this disturbing but vital story.' Daniel Trilling journalist and author of Lights In
The Distance: Exile and Refuge at the Borders of Europe'Few if any are better placed to write
a book of this breadth and scale than Joe Mulhall.' Mark Townsend Home Affairseditor of the
Observer
