The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics

The definitive insider's account of the movement that shattered America's political status quo.

What do internet trolls, economic populists, white nationalists, techno-anarchists and Alex Jones have in common? Nothing, except for an unremitting hatred of evangelical progressivism and the so-called "Cathedral" from whence it pours forth.

Contrary to the mainstream media's dissembling explanations, this movement did not emerge overnight—nor are its varied subgroups interchangeable. United by their opposition yet divided by their goals, the members of the New Right are willfully suspicious of those who would seek to tell their story. Fortunately, author Michael Malice was there from the very inception, and in The New Right he recounts their tale from the beginning.

Malice provides an authoritative and unbiased portrait of the New Right as a movement of ideas—ideas that he traces to surprisingly diverse ideological roots. From the heterodox right wing of the 1940s to the Buchanan/Rothbard alliance of 1992 and all the way through to what he witnessed personally in Charlottesville, The New Right is a thorough firsthand accounting of the concepts, characters and chronology of this widely misunderstood sociopolitical phenomenon.

Today's fringe is tomorrow's orthodoxy. As entertaining as it is informative, The New Right is essential reading for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more about the past, present and future of our divided political culture.
