Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Spellbinding in a revolting yet masterful way."

Chip Berlet, co-author of Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort

"Spencer Sunshine's new book Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism is a tour de force for understanding America's contemporary white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements. It teases out the largely unexplored history of this movement's last 50 years, and provides the definitive account of how James Mason's Siege became the leading tome for today's far right extremists. The book is filled with details from the movement's major and minor players, much of which has never been documented. This is a must read for those who want to understand our country's history of white supremacy and the nature of the movement today."

Heidi Beirich, co-founder, Global Project Against Hate and Extremism

"Sunshine has written the definitive book that exposes and links the old guard of American neo-Nazism to the modern day (and beyond) wave of white-power terrorism. A fascinating read!"

Christian Picciolini, author of White American Youth: My Descent Into America's Most Violent Hate Movement-and How I Got Out

"It is rare to find a study that combines grassroots anti-fascist research with the tools of scholarly analysis. Spencer Sunshine's detailed and discerning book examines neo-Nazism as a social movement and takes seemingly obscure ideas seriously, bringing critical attention to the history of countercultural crossover with the radical right. Anybody concerned with the incongruous resurgence of supposedly fringe political phenomena will learn sobering lessons from this book."

Peter Staudenmaier, Marquette University, USA

"The deepest dive yet into the godfather of modern neo-Nazi terrorism, told through the rare lens of James Mason's own writings. This book is essential reading to those hoping to understand the origins and nuances of violent right-wing extremism today."

Jared Holt, Senior Research Analyst, Institute for Strategic Dialogue

"Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism is a tour de force of research which sheds light on the previously ignored intersection of American neo-Nazism and esotericism."

Michael Barkun, author of Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America
