Reception
The book was commended by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown in The Independent, who noted that Trilling has "written an instructive account of white extremism in Britain",[1] while in The Guardian, David Edgar described it as a "brisk, compelling narrative".[2] Labour MP Jon Cruddas, who defeated a BNP challenge in Dagenham and Rainham in 2010 also reviewed the book for the New Statesman.[3] Reviews also appeared in Foreign Affairs,[4] New Republic[5] and The Scotsman.[6] Time Out London referred to the work as "pure pavement-pounding journalism" and Owen Jones praised it as "authoritative and eloquent".[7]
