In this timely study, Esther Adaire provocatively traces the intellectual, political, technological foundations of rightwing extremism in present-day Germany. By showing how Germany's New Right is using information warfare to attack the country's liberal culture of remembrance, and by tracing how the campaign has migrated from the fringes of the neo-Nazi scene to mainstream political parties like the AfD, she convincingly underscores the perils of the present moment for German democracy. * Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, President, Center for Jewish History and Professor of History, Fairfield University, USA * Neo-Nazi Postmodern is a valuable contribution to the study of Germany’s far-right resurgence, offering a clear analysis of how the far-right weaponized historical memory and the stability of facts to successfully push and normalize its agenda … It is important reading for anyone interested in the far-right’s manipulation of Germany’s culture of remembrance. * H-Soz-Kult * Neo-Nazi Postmodern provides a uniquely rich and incisive analysis of violent, far-right extremism in Germany today. Esther Elizabeth Adaire traces the emergence of a combination of revanchist national socialists, new right ideologues, and other anti-government elements who, together with covert extremists entrenched in German military and law enforcement, seek to undermine that country's democratic values and return it to new form of authoritarian rule. * Professor Bruce Hoffman, Georgetown University, USA, and author of 'Inside Terrorism'. * Neo-Nazi Postmodern is a valuable contribution to the study of Germany’s far-right resurgence, offering a clear analysis of how the far-right weaponized historical memory and the stability of facts to successfully push and normalize its agenda. * H-Soz-Kult *
