Scholars should not ignore these \"dark sides\" of politics, however unpleasant they may be, since they influence the world in a multitude of harmful ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first volume in this two-volume collection focuses on the history of underground neo-fascist networks in the post-World War II era; neo-fascist paramilitary and terrorist groups operating in Europe and Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s; and the manipulation of those and other terrorist organizations by the security forces of various states, both authoritarian and democratic. A range of global case studies are included, all of which focus on the lesser known activities of certain secular extremist milieus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection should prove to be essential reading for students and researchers interested in understanding seemingly arcane but nonetheless important dimensions of recent historical and contemporary politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40958395809889,"sku":"9781138785618","price":49.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27316450.jpg?v=1721666466","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781138785618-darkest-sides-of-politics-vol-1","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
