{"product_id":"9781784746049","title":"Year of the Rat : Undercover in the British Far Right - Harry Shukman","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnyone who wants to understand British politics has to read this book.' Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism`Important and courageous' James O'BrienThe British far right is working to dismantle our democracy. This shocking, eye-opening first-hand account reveals who they are, how they operate and how they are normalising extreme ideologies including eugenics. In summer 2024, riots swept England in the biggest wave of far-right violence in the post-war period. But far-right activity takes many other forms as well, all of them dangerous. Journalist Harry Shukman knows the dangers all too well: he'd gone undercover to infiltrate these groups. For over a year, he carefully attached his hidden lapel camera and pretended to be an extremist named Chris. We follow Shukman as he hangs out in the pub with a secretive community network, canvasses with political party Britain First and attends a neo-Nazi conference. We meet a circle of Holocaust deniers, a race science organisation with a major Silicon Valley investor and right-wing think tanks supported by Conservative policymakers. What we witness is hard to believe, or stomach. Year of the Rat is a gripping and urgent expos� - nail-bitingly tense, darkly absurd and utterly chilling. Risking his safety and sanity, Shukman has removed the far right's terrifyingly everyday mask. Now, we must ensure it stays off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harry Shukman","offers":[{"title":"320 pages \/ 08\/05\/2025 \/ Sociology \u0026 anthropology","offer_id":57110573941111,"sku":"9781784746049","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781784746049_923567fb-3151-4ec1-83c4-6a5dc4f5140e.jpg?v=1779381183","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781784746049","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
