'Few, if any, are better placed to write a book of this breadth and scale than Joe Mulhall.' - Mark Townsend, Home Affairs editor of the ObserverA terrifying and timely look at the spread of far-right movements across the globe.

"Joe Mulhall knows what it's like to stare fascism in the face. For a decade, often undercover at significant personal risk, he has investigated hate groups. He infiltrated a US white supremacist militia, set up a fake Ku Klux Klan branch, has been on countless street marches with violent far-right groups across Europe, and got inside some of the most important 'alt-right' meetings ever held. Brazil, India and the US are still in thrall to authoritarian populism, and far-right views have become steadily normalised in mainstream politics. Mulhall's dramatic experiences on the front line of anti-fascist activism, coupled with his academic research, clearly explain the roots of both elected and non-elected far-right movements across the globe. Above all, he concludes, the far right should not be dehumanised - they are normal people, but with dangerous beliefs that can be defeated"--Publisher's description.

'What struck me about [Drums in the Distance] is that Joe Mulhall is someone who has walked the walk [...] and he also offers fascinating analysis into the global Far Right movement' - Mobeen Azhar, BBC Radio 5 Live
