Recenzje

"This is the first systematic study of the 'lifecycle' of German Neo-Nazis, based on extensive interviews with former and current far-right extremists. The way that Kruglanski and his team bring together cutting-edge theory, a deep understanding of the roots of contemporary German far-right extremism, and empirical data is unparalleled. If you read only one book on the German far-right in English, make it this one!"
