This is an unfortunately timed book. I found it quite hard to square the threat extremists on the left pose to democracy after three months of the extreme right calling a free and fair election rigged, then storming a federal building and murdering a police officer. Those on the right will probably call what I just wrote an extreme distortion of the facts and say that those who stormed the building present only a tiny percentage of the right and that they are, at best, misguided fools. I'd then say, the same applies the other way. Andy's a textbook example of the hyper partisan hack that exists these days. He minimises real, deadly violence such as the attack in Charlottesville but says violence aimed at his side ranks amongst some of the wickedest acts perpetrated against humanity. So as a resource to simply confirm your own views, either pro or anti antifa then it's wonderful. As an actual resource that might seek to critically evaluate the antifascism movement and allow you to learn something new, it's an abysmal failure.

I cant beleive a group that claims to be anti fascist have been bullying a book shop not to sell this book, that is modern day fascism. Antifa are a complete joke nothing more than violent anarchist. Ordering this book now but 5 stars just in spite of Antifa.

A friend got an advanced reader copy of this and couldn't stop talking about it, she let me borrow it and I am now reading it and must say she was right it's a very good read. Hopefully this book makes people much more aware of how dangerous this group is.
