"In the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville, VA, and Donald Trump's initial refusal to denounce the white nationalists behind it all, the 'antifa' opposition movement is suddenly appearing everywhere. But what is it, precisely? And where did it come from? As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism--also known as 'antifa.'

Returning to civilian life, at the close of the Second World War, a group of Jewish veterans discovered that, for all their effort and sacrifice, their fight was not yet done. Creeping back onto the streets were Britain's homegrown fascists, directed from the shadows by Sir Oswald Mosley. Horrified that the authorities refused to act, forty-three Jewish ex-servicemen and women resolved to take matters into their own hands. In 1946, they founded the...

Mussolini was not only ruthless--he was subtle and manipulative. Black-shirted thugs did his dirty work for him--arson, murder, destruction of homes and offices, bribes, intimidation and the forcible administration of castor oil. His opponents -- including editors, publishers, union representatives, lawyers and judges -- were beaten into submission. But the tide turned in 1924 when his assassins went too far, horror spread across Italy and twenty...

Here he exposes their far-left extremist ideology and shows how they are set on destroying...
