In this expertly researched and gripping narrative, Martin Lee traces the history of neo-Nazism though the past fifty years - and reveals the growing symbiosis between right-wing groups in Europe and America. From Nazi spymasters in the post-war German intelligence services to Nazi emigres in South America, Lee shows how a well-organized underground network kept memoris of the Third Reich alive thoughtout the Cold War. And while European Nazis necessarily kept a low profile, American groups such as the Holocaust-denying Liberty Lobby openly promoted the fascist agenda.With the fall of the Berlin Wall, fascism in Europe - dormant for forty-five years - began making headlines again. German skinheads, many inspired by neo-Nazi propaganda originating in the US, terrorized minorities. And with the Oklahoma City bombing, America's own militia movement served notice that fascist extremism was alive and well on both sides of the Atlantic.
