American Nazism in the context of the American extreme right 1960-1978

Abstract

American Nazism has been mainly a subject for journalistic enquiry and even then the volume of print devoted to it has not been great. There has been very little analysis of the history of the Nazi movement since 1967, the time of the assassination of its founder, George Lincoln Rockwell. The movement's history to 1967 rated a chapter here and there in books devoted to sensationalising America's "far-right! Books such as Mark Sherwin's The Extremists, George Thayer's The Farther Shores of Politics, Giovanna and Del Boca's Fascism Today, J. Harry Jones’, The Minutemen, William W. Turner's Power on the Right and Dennis Eisenberg's The Re-emergence of Fascism can be mentioned in this context.
