Klappentext: Die Mordserie des NSU (2000-2006), der Terroranschlag von Anders Breivik (2011), das Attentat in München (2016), das Massaker von Christchurch (2019), der Mord an Walter Lübcke (2019), die Anschläge von Halle (2019) und Hanau (2020), zuletzt ein vereitelter Putschplan deutscher Reichsbürger (2022): Rechtsextreme Gewalt beschäftigt uns schon lange - und in den letzten Jahren besonders massiv. Mit Wahlerfolgen radikaler Parteien, wie in Schweden, Italien oder mit der AfD in Deutschland, droht der Rechtsextremismus mehrheitsfähig zu werden; im Zuge sozialer Proteste könnten extreme Gruppierungen zu einer umfassenden Bewegung zusammenfinden. Peter R. Neumann, einer der weltweit profiliertesten Experten, zeigt, wie real diese Gefahr ist - und wo ihre tieferen, ideologischen Wurzeln liegen. Statt nur einzelne Gruppen zu beschreiben, legt er das Wesen, die Logik des Rechtsextremismus frei - ebendas, was all diese Gruppen verbindet, ob Alte oder Neue Rechte, Neoreaktionäre oder Identitäre, Reichsbürger oder Verschwörungstheoretiker, AfD oder Rassemblement National. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele, von der völkischen Bewegung im 19. Jahrhundert bis zum Populismus der Gegenwart, zeigt Neumann: Am Anfang steht nicht der Hass, sondern eine Logik der Angst. Ein Psychogramm des Rechtsextremismus - das zugleich eine dringende Warnung ist. "Von den Wahlerfolgen der AfD, über Anschläge wie in Hanau und Halle bis zu Putsch-Plänen der Reichsbürger: Die Bedrohung durch den Rechtsextremismus ist vielfältig. Was verbindet rechte Gruppen miteinander? Der Journalist und Terrorismus-Experte Peter R. Neumann folgt historischen Kontinuitäten und zeigt: Am Anfang steht nicht der Hass, sondern die Logik der Angst" (Platz 6 der Sachbuch-Bestenliste für Oktober 2023)

Donald Trump promised to defeat terrorism, but there is no easy way to make sense of his war on terror. Is it a genuine strategic shift from previous administrations? Or is it all bluster, a way to score points with his base? Hamstrung by his administration's weakness, Trump hasn't actually changed much about counterterrorism. What is different is the ideological agenda--excessively militaristic and short-sighted. Foreign alliances have deteriorated, right-wing extremists feel emboldened, and the US no longer seems like a multi-cultural haven. Peter Neumann compellingly argues that Trump's war on terror looks strong and powerful in the short term, but will cause damage over time. His self-serving approach has failed on its own terms, made the world less safe, and undermined the US' greatest asset--the very idea of America.

In Britain alone, several thousand young Muslims are thought to be part of violent extremist networks. How did they become involved? What are the mechanisms and dynamics through which European Muslims join al-Qaeda and groups inspired by al-Qaeda? This paper explains the processes whereby European Muslims are recruited into the Islamist militant movement. It reveals that although overt recruitment has been driven underground, prisons and other 'places of vulnerability' are increasingly important alternatives. It explores the recruitment roles of radical imams, gateway organisations and activis

This work sets out a comprehensive framework by which to understand terrorism as strategy, contending that terrorism - even of the supposedly nihilist variety - can be viewed as a bona fide method for distributing means to fulfil the ends of policy as a strategy
