The book demystifies Antifa and the farright by presenting a thrillerstyle narrative that explains activist tactics and the history of antifascist spy work.
I'm talking to Chris Mathias about his new book, To Catch a Fascist, The Fight to Expose the Radical Right.
The book comes out first week of February. February 3rd.
The book very delicately and unapologetically explains those things... demystify what Antifa is, explain it to a wider audience and make kind of more radical politics that Antifa represents more palatable to a wider audience.
The cold open, right? The introductory chapter starts sort of in media res with your framework of the book, right? This Vincent Washington, this infiltrator inside Patriot Front.
The book gets into this a little bit... Patriot Front does end up ascertaining what it believes is Vincent's real identity and they file a lawsuit in a federal court.
