Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In The Beast Reawakens, journalist Martin A. Lee documents the genealogy of neo-fascism from the prominent Nazis who escaped prosecution following World War II to the extreme right-wing violence currently transpiring worldwide. Lee's disturbing narrative begins with the many prominent Nazis who, after the World War II, were recruited by the American government to serve as spies on the front lines of the Cold War, but ended up providing literature, training, and resources to, and standing as popular role models for, the next generation of neo-Nazis around the world. Racist hatred has also given birth to extreme right-wing politicians in France, Italy, and other Western countries who are increasingly finding a willing audience for their national and racial polemics. The Beast Reawakens is the first history to connect these various strands of current right-wing extremism with their Nazi mentors and the governments who supported them.

Synopsis:

If you thought Nazism died with Hitler, think again. In The Beast Reawakens, journalist Martin A. Lee documents the revival of fascist ideals from the wake of the Second World War to recent violent incidents in Europe and America. Defeated in war, many Nazis built new and profitable lives for themselves, stirring political intrigue and serving as role models to a new generation of white supremacists like Americans Francis Parker Yockey, whose book Imperium became the bible of anti-Semitism, and Willis Carto, who continues to run several ostensibly mainstream policy groups that deny the Holocaust ever took place. Often forced underground yet certain of their cause, this second generation of extremists can be linked to such recent violence as the Oklahoma City bombings, the shocking lynching of James Byrd in Jasper, Texas, and the abortion clinic bombings by Eric Rudolf, who remains a fugitive. With extraordinary detail and insight, The Beast Reawakens examines the many strands of rightwing extremism worldwide to put the current fascist resurgence in contemporary perspective.
