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.

More self-righteous tripe from a Leftist nag. Novick has convinced himself through the compilation of various incidents that White racism is ominpresent and all powerful. The solution? Socialism. That's right, more government, more regulation. The fact of the matter is, the world is becoming homogenized under the banner of the global economy. Ethnic and cultural identity (especially White) are seen as obstacles to this process and such feelings are being criminalized through indoctrination and various pieces of legislation. But hey, what's a Leftist going to do without White racism? It pays their bills. So if they have to, they will see it where it doesn't exist. This foolish book is a perfect example of that.
