Synopsis[edit]

The book charts the rise (and fall) of far-right organisations such as the British National Party and the English Defence League.

Reception[edit]

The book was commended by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown in The Independent, who noted that Trilling has 'written an instructive account of white extremism in Britain',[1] while in The Guardian, David Edgar described it as a 'brisk, compelling narrative'.[2] Labour MP Jon Cruddas, who defeated a BNP challenge in Dagenham and Rainham in 2010 also reviewed the book for the New Statesman.[3] Reviews also appeared in Foreign Affairs,[4] New Republic[5] and The Scotsman.[6] Time Out London referred to the work as 'pure pavement-pounding journalism' and Owen Jones praised it as 'authoritative and eloquent'.[7]
