In this #1 national bestseller, a journalist who's been attacked by Antifa writes a deeply researched and reported account of the group's history and tactics.

When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa.

In Unmasked, Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life. This book contains a trove of documents obtained by the author, published for the first time ever.

Essential reading. Antifa is a real and serious threat.

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024

I have been studying Antifa in my home state for a few years. Ngo is spot on in his assessment. Unmasked is a combination of first hand experience, direct reporting, and good research. He knows what he's talking about. Read it.

A Frightening Documentary of the Violence and Brutality of Antifa

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Although this book was extremely well-written (Ngo is a journalist), I had great difficulty reading it. I would read a few pages and then become so disturbed that I had to put the book down. It is the true story of Antifa’s brutal beating and sometimes murder of anyone who did not profess support of its objectives. Ngo, himself, was stalked and beaten by the group because he attended and filmed and posted the protests and the destruction that Antifa was inflicting upon counter-protestors or just innocent bystanders. We stand aghast, and rightly so, at the riot which occurred at the Capital on January 6, 2021 - Five people killed and $30 million in damage, and yet the press, and consequently society in general, says almost nothing regarding the 2 dozen people killed and the $2 billion in damage that occurred during the Black Lives Matter – Antifa protests. Antifa claims that it is fighting Fascism, but let’s look at the definition of Fascism. It is a form of government that is characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. Nazism is a form of fascism in that it also has a disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system, however, unlike the Fascism of Mussolini, it also supports a fervent antisemitism and extreme racism. Nazism is an abbreviation for the National Socialism party and yes it did begin as a party advocating socialism. Hitler found it initially useful to affiliate himself with this ideology but later abandoned it. I describe this because many of the actions of Antifa mirror the actions of the Nazi brownshirts or Mussolini’s blackshirts – use of violence to impose their beliefs upon the whole of society, total suppression of any opinions opposing their beliefs, a hatred for democracy.

I know that democracy, for our species, is an extremely unnatural form of government. It was only through extraordinary circumstances that it thrived in America and in so doing, more people knew a greater level of prosperity and freedom than in any other country at any time in history. Was it a society totally free of injustices? Of course not, but compare its shortcomings to any other country that has existed and you will see that the injustices we inflicted were far less than any other civilization. Like the author, Andy Ngo, I greatly fear this country that I love is dying. Those extraordinary circumstances that produced our democracy are gone and add to it the fact that all countries that reach a high level of prosperity produce a weakened citizenry incapable of enduring hardship, easily led by the spin of demagogues, easily moved by emotion rather than rationality.

Andy Ngo was born in Portland, Oregon. His parents were from Vietnam. After the fall of Saigon they were placed into forced labor and reeducation camps by the communist government. In 1978 they fled to the United States as part of the Vietnamese boat people. Because of this, Ngo is particularly grateful to the freedoms and opportunities that the United States gave to his family and to him. The last five pages of the book, were for me, perhaps even more painful than the remainder of the book. Ngo summarizes Antifa’s threats to democracy and freedom and describes the resulting world.

In the author’s own words. “For those who are vulnerable, antifa is more than appealing. It promises community, protection, and purpose. It is organized like a zealous religious movement through the constant feeding of ideology and propaganda. They believe a communist-anarchist world utopia is possible. There would be no borders, police, prisons, racism, or fascism. All material needs would be met through community mutual aid, not through working in an exploitative capitalist system.

But the world antifa envisions is a literal ‘utopia.’ Translated from the original Greek, ‘utopia’ means ‘no place.’ No society can function as antifa envisions. Their small-scale experiments at creating separatist anarcho-communist communes, have ended in disaster and death. Even when their anti-fascist ideology was instituted at the state level (e.g., in the former East Germany), the result was the creation of a sprawling spy apparatus that monitored the public and private thought of citizens for wrongthink.” …

“For those who are drawn to their siren calls of ‘anti-racism,’ ‘anti-fascism’ and ‘equity,’ look to where their ideas have been put into practice. No one inherits a utopia or civilization. They inherit ash, blood, and feces-strained rubble.”

Disturbing - because it is true

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Andy Ngo’s book, Unmasked, is a disturbing read, mostly because it is well documented and rings true. These anarchist cells are a dangerous threat to our nation, if not the world. Mr. Ngo has been on the front lines from their most recent incidents of violence and has done a very good job of organizing the book to cover not only the history of these movements, but their dangerous tactics.
I particularly liked his no-nonsense reporting of the media cover-up of Antifa’s violence. The sympathetic press and half of the politicians of our nation refuse to acknowledge the role Antifa has clearly played in incidents – all of which are confirmed and footnoted in Ngo’s book. I found it truly amazing that while I was reading it, on The View, Joy Behar said Antifa, “…doesn’t even exist.” Her position on this was so well written about in Ngo’s book, it was almost creepy to hear her words. (God no, I don’t watch The View – but I did see a link to her comment on Facebook.)
Extremists on both sides are horrible – be they right or left. This book focuses on one organization but also does not pull punches with the right wing groups out there. Antifa is a danger because they want to take down the United States and do away with capitalism…period. They believe that the ends justifies the means – so violence is perfectly acceptable to them. They are dangerous– having nearly killed the author of Unmasked at one point in their attacks. Others have died by their actions as well, as you can read about in this book.
My criticism of the book is mostly in the history chapter. I would have expected a little more there, such as the 1920’s anarchist movements and bombings in the US and around the globe. It was covered, but only lightly. I would have liked to have seen more about other radical groups such as the Weather Underground or the Symbionese Liberation Army. Then again, I’m a historian – so that is what I would have liked to have read more about.
What I found probably most disturbing was how politicians had responded to Antifa in terms of dismissing charges against them or cowering to them in other ways. In some ways, I feel they are courting the devil by not taking a stand against the Antifa threat.
I think Unmasked is an important book because it bypasses the mainstream media’s ignoring the Antifa threat or even reporting on it. It is well footnoted and supported. Ngo’s writing style is crisp. I like the structure of the book. I didn’t want to read his origin story first, and he didn’t disappoint – he put me, as the reader, in the thick of the action from the start. I encourage people to pick this book up and read it if you want the inside story of this domestic threat to our nation’s stability.

So far, a very good book, but bad shipping (tres bon livre mais mauvais colis)

Reviewed in France on July 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

Loving the book so far, so I would definitely recommend the book. It's a very interesting read and shows you another side to the Antifa group the media do not dare talk about. However, disappointed with the Amazon shipping. The book was in a box that was way too big, therefore, the book was already damaged before I even opened it. I paid for a new book but it already looks second-hand before I even started reading. You would expect better from a company of this size.

Tres bon livre, que je recommande vivement. Par contre, Amazon peut mieux faire en ce qui concerne la livraison. Le colis est beaucoup trop grand pour le livre, ce qui fait que le livre est deja endommagé avant de même commencer à le lire. Je m'attendai à mieux d'Amazon quand-meme, car j'ai payé pour un livre neuf mais on dirait que j'ai recu un occasion.

Outstanding, brave,, essential reading for thinking people everywhere.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

An excellent expose of a phenomenon which many on the left would rather not have been written and not read. A first hand, eye witness account of activity including violence, aggression and intimidation against anyone who does not support the Antifa cause. The Antifa cause is not “anti-fascist” as they hope gullible bystanders assume, it is closer to being an anti-free speech fascist organisation, which is now what antifa stands for in my view. To read the while book and peruse the huge number of notes and sources is to gain a clearer understanding of what truly liberal western society (not just US) stands to lose by allowing antifa to flourish. The fact there is no serious negative comment on the book says it presents an unarguable case. It destroys the foolish claim “antifa is just an idea” with scholarly forensic precision. Outstanding.
