Jeffrey M. Bale, Tamir Bar-On

Fighting the Last War

Confusion, Partisanship, and Alarmism in the Literature on the Radical Right

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that the political and security threats posed by the domestic radical right in Western countries have been consistently exaggerated since 1945. This has allowed governments to justify censoring and repressing their political opponents, including many who cannot be fairly described as being affiliated with the radical right.
