- Marc Andreessen: "Six books on the deep history of the American right." source ↗
Summary
Michael Malice embeds with figures on the American far-right, attending conferences and interviewing activists, intellectuals, and political operatives to understand the movement's beliefs, strategies, and internal contradictions. The book covers the alt-right, paleoconservatives, and other factions that reject mainstream conservatism in favor of nationalism, identitarianism, and anti-democratic thought. Malice, an anarchist himself, offers a sympathetic but critical portrait of a coalition united primarily by its opposition to the liberal consensus.
