"Detailed and disturbing . . . A timely and troubling account of anti-fascist goals and methods."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Christopher Mathias has written an investigation of an underground political world that reads like a spy thriller--exposing the ups and downs of antifascist activists infiltrating and undermining fascist groups, as a far-right tide grows across America. No one knows this subterranean war better than Mathias, who has gained unprecedented access to this rarely seen community and their neo-Nazi foes. To Catch a Fascist is both a gripping read and one that's more urgent than ever."
--Will Sommer, author of Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America
"A thoughtful, urgent and tightly researched exploration of antifascism in America beyond scaremongering headlines--one that reflects the principles and investigative skills of one of the best reporters on the far-right beat in the US. A riveting must-read from one of our most important writers that could not be more timely."
--Talia Lavin, author of Wild Faith
"A gripping, clear-eyed account of the courageous Americans who took it upon themselves to infiltrate, document, expose, and hold to account extreme right-wing radicals bent on taking the United States back to the Nineteenth Century. There is no both-siding here, no equivocating, no compromise with authoritarian politicians and their Neo-Fascist foot soldiers like so many of this country's 'august' media, academic, and private institutions. These Americans do not forgive, and they do not forget."
--Ali Winston, co-author of The Riders Come Out at Night
"It's never been more important to understand what it means to be anti-fascist. Mathias' book is an illuminating look at a largely untold history, deftly written with a journalist's immediacy and moral clarity."
--Marisa Kabas, independent journalist at The Handbasket
