A terrifying and timely look at the spread of far-right movements across the globe。

Joe 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 （KKK） 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。
