-This volume provides a detailed account of the role of right-wing extremism in postwar Germany. Lewis furnishes a history that ranges from efforts to reconstruct a Nazi movement undertaken while the country was still under allied occupation to recent attempts to exploit the uncertainties caused by German reunification. There are really two stories that unfold. The first involves efforts by rightist leaders, often ex-Nazis, to create electorally viable political parties (the Republicans most recently) in order to win the support of voters for programs emphasizing xenophobia and national glory. The second tale is that of the small groups, often neo-Nazi, which, from time to time, have used terrorist violence against guest workers, American military personnel, and German Jews in hopes that by so doing they will promote a right-wing revival. Lewis analyzes the linkages between these violent units and like-minded organizations in the Middle East and in the US. In all, the book is an effective updating of such earlier work as John Nagle's The National Democratic Party and Kurt Tauber's Beyond Eagle and Swastika.
