A history of Antifascist activity in the Western world.
I have entirely forgotten all the history that was mentioned but what remains with me is the dynamic and ingenious spirit of Antifascist collectives and the emphasis on inclusivity.
There are some interesting justifications of violence - my own opinions on this are mixed, and I was convinced by some arguments and less convinced by others. Probably best to read/listen then judge for yourself.

Anti-fascism is a reality of our political climate, regardless of what your understanding of it is. This book is the only of its kind that I have ever seen, and incredible and in-depth description of fascism and anti-fascism, their histories, and anti-fascist tactics. From the Dreyfus Affair (1893) to the Trump Administration.
Bray does a great job accounting histories often glossed over in public education, sometimes interjecting bias, but typically doing well to label when he does so.
One of the most important books on fascism and anti-fascism ever written.
