Biographical Dictionary of the Extreme Right Since 1890

It was first published by Harvester Wheatsheaf in 1990, in a 418 page edition.^[1] By 2000, it was out of print.^[2] Jeffrey Kaplan cited this as a reason for the existence of his 2000 book the Encyclopedia of White Power, to fill a gap in the literature caused by its absence.^[2]

The book received a positive review from Andreas Sobisch in German Studies Review, who praised it as practical and informative. Sobisch did criticize the lack of clarity in the inclusion criteria, though said the task of defining the far right was perhaps "an inherently impossible task".^[1] Jeffrey Kaplan noted it as tilted to more the European side of fascism, rather than the American side, and also fewer contemporary entries; he said that given when it had been published this was, however, understandable, though he noted in a shift towards American prominence in the far-right movement.^[2]
