""Gods of the Blood" represents the culmination of the author's tireless fieldwork among America's radical right: race activists of every description, denizens of the occult underground, and adherents of a variety of small oppositional religio-political belief systems throughout the United States. Never before has a scholar had the means, the determination, or the unparalleled access Mattias Gardell has been accorded in the American radical right."--Jeffrey Kaplan, author of the "Encyclopedia of White Power: A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right"
