Description
George Lincoln Rockwell was a pivotal figure in American extremism, leading the American Nazi Party until his murder in 1967. His influence has endured, shaping the ideologies of various far-right movements. This biography draws on primary sources, including declassified FBI files and personal materials, to provide a comprehensive understanding of Rockwell's life and legacy. Rockwell's impact extended beyond the core Radical Right, with his ideas being adopted by figures such as David Duke. He also played a significant role in developing Holocaust revisionism and Christian Identity, two movements that continue to have a presence today. Frederick Simonelli's biography offers a shocking and absorbing look at the roots of neo-nazism, neo-fascism, and White Power extremism in postwar America. Through its examination of Rockwell's life and the American Nazi Party, this book provides a crucial assessment of the far-right movements that continue to shape American politics.
