Homeland: Into a World of Hate - Hardcover
A bomb explodes on crowded London street; a mob of young and old gathers in East Germany to watch a hostel burn; a fiery Reagan adviser annouces his candidacy for US President. Unconnected events, surely? Or part of a Hollywood thriller? In fact these are just some of the events that award-winning writer and film maker Nick Ryan witnesses on his journey into the world of hate, his roller-coaster ride through the terrifying area of white nationalism. Ryan recounts how 10 million otherwise 'respectable' citizens voted for far right and ultra-nationalist parties during recent European elections. He describes how whole towns have been declared 'liberated zones' by neo Nazi gangs. And he follows the stories of the 'lone wolf' killers wreaking vengeance on an ever-more-complex society. The question is this: are all three areas linked? '88!' is the commonly used neo-Nazi slang for 'Heil Hitler!' and the book is the story of one man's unique journey - and encounters - with the men and women at the heart of the white supremacist movement. In a powerful, compelling and occasionally disturbing narrative, Ryan takes us through the streets and town of Europe and the USA, charting the growth of hate and intolerance.

Review:
"Reportage of the most illuminating kind--a vividly atmospheric narrative of Nick Ryan's six years exploring the far-right underworld across Europe and the United States...the result is an unsettling and fascinating exploration of the dangerous nether reaches of contemporary culture and politics.."
-John Gray, Times Literary Supplement
"A terrifying book that provokes nightmares, and makes me fear for the future of our civilized society...there could be no finer testament to his talent as a reporter...an important book, one that should appear in the bookcases of every politician in the land.."
-Geoffrey Wansell, The Daily Mail
"Ryan's hard-hitting look at racist and fascist factions is topical to say the least...the overall picture of hatred is vivid.."
-Andrea Henry, The Mirror
"Tremendous...a pulsating book...he writes furiously, at times brilliantly.."
-The Independent
"Astounding!."
