This book is the first comprehensive academic study of German right-wing terrorism since the early 1960s available in the English language. Based on the most detailed dataset of right-wing terrorism in Germany, this book offers highly valuable insights into this specific form of political violence and terrorism, which has been widely neglected in international terrorism research.
