SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book collects Mudde's blog posts, interviews and op-eds on the topic of the US far right, ranging from neoconservatives to the neo-Nazi terrorists. The main emphasis of the book is on the two most important far right developments of the 21st century, the Tea Party and Donald Trump. Primarily aimed at a non-academic audience, the book explains terminology, clarifies the key terms and their relationship to (liberal) democracy."--Provided by publisher.
