Far-right terrorism has long been a neglected aspect of terrorism studies, receiving less attention than Jihadi extremism. In his book, William Allchorn delves into various geographical locales and the online spaces of far-right movements, uncovering the crisis narratives that fuel violent far-right extremist milieus. He presents solutions on how to stop these narratives from spreading.

The book is the first comprehensive presentation and discussion of counter techniques to far-right narratives. It utilizes eight country case studies and the results of an online pilot project to explore the effectiveness, ethics, and potential of disrupting pathways from radicalism to violent extremism.

This book is particularly relevant in the current context of a renewed global wave of far-right violence. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners in the fields of far-right studies, terrorism studies, and strategic communications. By understanding the narratives that drive far-right extremism, we can develop effective strategies to counter them and prevent further harm.
