Description: In The Beast Reawakens, journalist Martin A. Lee documents the genealogy of neo-fascism from the prominent Nazis who escaped prosecution following World War II to the extreme right-wing violence currently transpiring worldwide. Lee's disturbing narrative begins with the many prominent Nazis who, after the World War II, were recruited by the American government to serve as spies on the front lines of the Cold War, but ended up providing literature, training, and resources to, and standing as popular role models for, the next generation of neo-Nazis around the world. Racist hatred has also given birth to extreme right-wing politicians in France, Italy, and other Western countries who are increasingly finding a willing audience for their national and racial polemics. The Beast Reawakens is the first history to connect these various strands of current right-wing extremism with their Nazi mentors and the governments who supported them.
