Jackals: The Stench of American Fascism
An in-depth look into contemporary fascist and far-right extremist activity
Conservatives who obsess about the threat of Muslim extremism are usually mute as regards the murderous chaos instigated by far-right extremists. In The Stench of Fascism , journalist and author Alex Constantine explores today’s fascism and its historical roots. He cites numerous examples of current fascist terrorism such as Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh; Kevin William Hardham, the 36-year-old Army field artillery veteran who planted a bomb along the Martin Luther King Day unity parade route in Spokane, Washington in 2011; Pittsburgh cop killer and white supremacist Richard Paplowski; neo-Nazi Keith Luke of Brockton, Massachusetts, arrested after shooting and killing three immigrants from Cape Verde; and antigovernment militiaman Joshua Cartwright, who murdered a pair of sheriff's deputies in Okaloosa County, Florida in 2009; as well as countless others.

Meh🧐😏seems to be a compilation of blog entries & transcripts of podcast. Filled with minutiae, some of it interesting. At least he included endnotes at the end of every chapter for future reference
Even though this book is quite dated, the last section on PBS NPR was very topical considering the current administration just cut funding. I found it quite ironic.
