Hi John,

Earlier this year, our head of research Joe Mulhall asked me to read an early draft of his new book. I was blown away by the compelling mix of personal stories with political analysis. I’ve been looking forward to others to be able to read it too, and I am delighted it has been published today.

I’ve worked with Joe for more than a decade. He’s been a HOPE not hate stalwart throughout that time. He’s got that great mix of academic smarts, and the street smarts needed to go undercover and do infiltration work. 

He’s been on countless street marches with violent far-right groups across Europe, got inside some of the most important ‘alt-right’ meetings ever held, hung out with a US white supremacist militia, and even set up a fake KKK branch.

It sounds frightening - and of course it must have been - but it’s so well written it’s also an entertaining read.

The first hand accounts are mixed with some really astute analysis. This is a book that lays out the challenges posed by the far right now, and what we need to do about that threat, 
As the left-wing journalist Paul Mason says, “by the end of it, we understand one thing: the threat of a second fascist era is real.”

This really is a must-read for all antifascists. I hope you’ll consider getting a copy.

Thanks,

Nick
