4.0

I don't know if it was the fact that I've done similar research to Talia, or that I follow her on twitter, or the last chapter of this book, but this was an emotional read for me. I think it's a comprehensive look at white supremacy in Amerika, and one that doesn't mince words, or feign distance. I think it's very clear that Lavin is extremely knowledgable about antifascism and it shows, brilliantly, throughout. I can't stop thinking of the circle of protective bodies around the church. I recommend this book over others on the same topic, such as Marantz's "Antisocial", if you were to choose only one to read.

This is a book about white supremacist and nazis, what they think, and how they express their hate. There are descriptions of acts of violence, and an instance of description of animal mutilation.

emotional informative tense fast-paced

3.0

An informative look at modern white supremacy, inceldom, and other kinds of hate, interspersed with Lavin's experience going "undercover" in Nazi chatrooms. Can be kind of repetitive, especially if you've got a basic understanding of these hate groups already.
