A bomb explodes on crowded London street; a mob of young and old gathers in East Germany to watch a hostel burn; a fiery Reagan adviser annouces his candidacy for US President. Unconnected events, surely? Or part of a Hollywood thriller? In fact these are just some of the events that award-winning writer and film maker Nick Ryan witnesses on his journey into the world of hate, his roller-coaster ride through the terrifying area of white nationalism. Ryan recounts how 10 million otherwise `respectable' citizens voted for far right and ultra-nationalist parties during recent European elections. He describes how whole towns have been declared `liberated zones' by neo Nazi gangs. And he follows the stories of the `lone wolf' killers wreaking vengeance on an ever-more-complex society. The question is this: are all three areas linked? `88!' is the commonly used neo-Nazi slang for `Heil Hitler!' and the book is the story of one man's unique journey - and encounters - with the men and women at the heart of the white supremacist movement. In a powerful, compelling and occasionally disturbing narrative, Ryan takes us through the streets and town of Europe and the USA, charting the growth of hate and intolerance.
