Fascism is unfortunately not a thing of the past. It never went away and, in our current climate of economic crisis and enforced austerity, it becomes even more prevalent. Militant Anti-Fascism tracks the history of fascism and the movements that grew up to resist it, from its earliest roots up to the present day. Focusing particularly on Britain and Ireland, the author gives a detailed history of the rise of groups such as the National Front, the British National Party and the more recent English Defence League, alongside the histories of the anti-fascist groups that challenged them.
