Right-wing violence in the western world since world war ii, hardcover/leonard weinberg

Right-wing violence is undergoing a revival on both sides of the Atlantic.

In Europe, much of this violence has been a backlash against migrants and their offspring carried out by lone-wolves and organized groups.

In the United States, race, gender, and religious hatreds have triggered far more than normal levels of violence, including a resurgence of attacks on Jews and other anti-Semitic behavior.

Examining the contours of the current violence, this book traces the development of the right-wing in the decades following the end of World War II.

Right-Wing Violence in the Western World Since World War II considers right-wing violence during the postwar era, from the collapse of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy to the mid-1950s alongside the right-wing sociological and political influences inherited before WWII.

This chapter is followed by an overview of the right-wing in North America and Europe from the 60s onwards into the digital age.

The book concludes with a timely and balanced assessment of the canary in the coal-mine for liberal democracy.
