"A majority of the book's entries focuses on extremist activity since 1980. Many entries provide historical perspectives that add an unprecedented fullness of information. This work, a companion to the Encyclopedia of Modern American Extremists and Extremist Groups, contains information that no other single source can offer, covering such groups and individuals as English Neo-Nazis, Argentinean death squads, ecoterrorists, Hindu xenophobes, and Japanese cults."--BOOK JACKET."
