I thought this was a well-written, and seems to be well-researched book. It's not tedious to read [I just read Cynical Theories and that was tedious for me, though informative]. I enjoyed the historical perspective too on the rise of antifascism.

Several of the negative comments talked about how it's lacking grammar and editing. I found 4 instances of a word being dropped. Three of those instances I recall the word being "of" or "and". One was identifying a professor of something. The something was the word missing. Not really a reason to lambaste the whole book in that regard.… (meer)

Continuing with my reads to try and understand the culture wars and the state our countries are in right now.
This is a very good title for this book. It looks at the history of the Antifa group, what they hope to accomplish, their training and philosophy and it is frightening. Ngo is a photo journalist from Portland observing Antifa who has been beaten with resulting head trauma and has been much reviled by the group. HIs parents are new Americans who fled the communists of Vietnam and had horrible experiences in reeducation camps and were "boat people" to flee the country. He has grave concerns about the direction that Antifa wants to take the country. This book should be read with an open mind. For me any group that does and tries to justify violence is reprehensible. Antifa has been protected by the left leaning press.… (meer)
