powerful & disturbing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Homeland: Into a World of Hate (Hardcover)
This book is unique: in it, the journalist Nick Ryan ventures inside a dizzying array of white supremacist, neo-nazi and ultra-nationalist movements, recording his experiences and encounters over a six-year period.As a powerful, and sometimes downright disturbing, introduction to the lives of those in the radical right, it's unequalled. What it's not is an essay or historical analysis of the growth of right-wing extremism. Then again, the author never claims it is. It's clearly a standalone journey, as much Ryan's story as that of the people he meets. If you want to know who the people actually are behind the burgeoning right-wing movements, 'Homeland' is the place to find them. The links between the lowliest 'lone wolf', to the most elevated political figures, are sometimes startling, particularly when Ryan finds himself invited out to Beirut for an international conference of Holocaust deniers. It can't have been easy going on some of these journeys. The book is also written in a series of pacy, gripping vignettes, more like a novel at times than non-fiction. But I found this made it an easier read: at over 300 pages, I finished it during one long weekend! Overall, 'Homeland' is a furious, unsettling - but I would say essential - book, in which the writer clearly threw a part of himself. As a study of the underbelly of modern society, and frustrated identity, I would highly recommend it to anyone curious about our times.

Truly disturbing and terrifying,
By
This review is from: Into a World of Hate: A Journey Among the Extreme Right (Hardcover)
Many people would like to think that this sort of thing is no longer a problem, but the sad truth is that racism on both sides of the atlantic is back on the rise and in this book, Nick Ryan risks his life to show us exactly how bad things are.It may not be pleasant reading at times, but it's a book that has to be read.
