More than half a century after the defeat of Nazism and fascism,
the far right is again challenging the liberal order of Western
democracies. Radical movements are feeding on anxiety about
economic globalization, affirmative action, and third-world
immigration, flashpoint issues to many traditional groups in
multicultural societies. A curious mixture of Aristocratic
paganism, anti-Semitic demonology, Eastern philosophies and the
occult is influencing populist antigovernment sentiment and
helping to exploit the widespread fear that invisible elites are
shaping world events.

Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke offers a unique perspective on far right
neo-Nazism viewing it as a new form of Western religious heresy.
He paints a frightening picture of a religion with its own
relics, rituals, prophecies and an international sectarian
following that could, under the proper conditions, gain political
power and attempt to realize its dangerous millenarian fantasies.
