White Lies, White Power: The Fight Against White Supremacy and Reactionary Violence

I have no idea what the first rambling review was, but anyone who actually READS this book will find it an exhaustive and meticulously researched volume on the activities of the extreme right, particularly the white-power and 'patriot' movements that were on the upswing during the time the book was written (1994-95ish). At some points depressing, at others powerful, Novick makes a point of touching on virtually all the extreme-right trends of the period. If you are interested in understanding the ideologies and players among the racist right, Novick's investigative volume is a valuable reference.
