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.

Daniel Koehler is the Director of the German Institute on Radicalization and De-Radicalization Studies (GIRDS).
