Year of the Rat: Undercover in the British Far Right

<b>SHORTLISTED FOR THE <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>CHARLOTTE AITKEN YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD<br /><br />‘Important and courageous’ James O’Brien<br /><br />'A tense account of going undercover inside Britain's far-right groups. At times it reads like a novel...only the stakes are real' <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br /><br />Harry Shukman led a double life. Friends and family knew him as a journalist, but unbeknownst to them he was secretly infiltrating the British far right. Equipped with a hidden camera, he posed as 'Chris' and set out to expose right-wing extremists.<br /><br />From canvassing with Britain First to befriending Holocaust deniers, neo-Nazis and a Silicon Valley-backed race-science organisation, Shukman again and again risked his safety and sanity to remove the far right’s terrifyingly everyday mask.<br /><br />Now, we must ensure it stays off.<br /><br /><b>'Anyone who wants to understand British politics has to read this book.'
