FASCISM IS BACK...
Paul Wilkinson's acclaimed survey of the ultra-right in the 1980s offers a chilling portrait of the fascist terrorism that looms ever more prominently in today's news.
For this Pan edition of The New Fascists, Professor Wilkinson has added extensive new material that up-dates his original text. The succession to power of the Christian Phalange in Lebanon, the split in the South African Nationalists, the Bulldog trial in Britain, and the resurgance of the Peronists in Argentina are chronicled in a new chapter. Another important new section - The Fascist Mentality - offers a sophisticated and provocative analysis of the components of the Fascist mind-set and their increasing appearance outside the confines of the global ultra-right movements.

THE OTHER FACE OF TERROR by Ray Hill, with Andrew Bell

NAZI MOLE

The Other Face of Terror is the story of an ordinary working man drawn into the ranks of right-wing extremism through a concern with immigration - and of how the same man went on to work as a spy inside some of the most fanatical and dangerous fascist organisations in Europe.
Carrying concealed tape recorders and watched by hidden cameras, Ray Hill met and talked with leading extremists in order to gather hard evidence of their activities - and was single-handedly responsible for preventing a major terrorist attack in London aimed at starting a 'race war' in Notting Hill.
A fascinating study of how an ordinary man can be turned into a fanatical nazi - and of how basic human decency can reassert itself - The Other Face of Terror also provides a chilling insight into the workings of the many European groups dedicated to fomenting race hatred by means of terrorist outrages.
