Table of ContentsReviewsThis looks to be a most timely examination of the nature and rise of the alt-right phenomenon. The fact that it deals with trends on both sides of the Atlantic, while offering political and psychological context, will doubtless help to ensure a wide readership. The chapters on the United States deal with highly topical and important issues, and as someone who teaches U.S. politics at undergraduate and postgraduate level, I can see how these topics would be very suitable for classroom use. I very much enjoyed reading the material and found it to be engaging and informative throughout.--Clodagh Harrington, De Montfort University This two-volume edited work by Dr. Alan Waring is like building a tapestry. Threads are put together in a skillful and professional way to create a whole. . . I regard this phenomenal work to be a major contribution to our understanding of the risks facing democracies from the rising new authoritarianism. I can safely predict that it will establish itself and remain a major reference book for generations to come. A must-read. Highly recommended.--Emeritus Professor Antony A.
