"To those who find themselves uncomfortable with the operation of antifascists outside the comfortable bounds of institutions and, at times, the law, I remind you that the French partisans of World War II were acting illegally, while the Einsatzgruppen had the full support of German law. We tend to like our noble lawbreakers to be comfortably in the past, where time and death have sanitized them into heroes, and to suffer those who struggle against injustice in the present only grudgingly, if at all."

While the history and background provided was important, it lacked cohesiveness and was in need of better editing. After one incident when the same phrase was defined three times in the span of 5 minutes the lack of both storytelling finesse and editing became pointedly unbearable.
Given the heaviness of the subject, these issues made an already hard read harder.

As someone who lives publicly as a Jewish person, I found this book informative, enraging, and a little sad. Hearing some stories about how people came to these movements, why they believe what they do, not only makes me angry, but makes me sad as well.
I also learned a lot of terminology from within these movements, the difference between different white supremacy movements, and about events that these people cling to as proof that their world view is the one right world view. Because of this, I think this book is immensely important and should be read by anyone who says they aren't a white supremacist.
The reviews about "I wanted this book to be..." are ridiculous. Open your mind, Broaden your horizons. That's what books are about. Duh.

- I think if you've spent any time at all learning about (or experiencing) what the far right is up to, there isn't a lot of new information in this book. However, Lavin really does a great job of linking seemingly disparate ideologies, events, and social and governmental failures together to show how we arrived here.
