“The Golden Dawn’s ‘Nationalist Solution’ is a short study that
provides a solid overview of the Golden Dawn’s ideology, discourse
and the factors that shaped its rise. … the book is a useful
addition to the literature about postwar fascism, European politics
and political violence.” (Ryan Shaffer, Patterns of Prejudice, Vol.
51 (5), 2017)
"At last the fragmented media coverage of the Golden Dawn in
English has been supplemented by a sustained, comprehensive study
of its origins, social base, ideology, and place within the
extended family of ultranationalist and neo-populist movements in
Europe. The Greek authors not only write in a sophisticated,
concise academic register that is a lesson to many native speakers,
but show a refreshing familiarity with comparative fascism studies
seen through the lens of the New Consensus. As a result Europe's
most fully developed neo-fascist party can be seen in High
Definition, not just providing insights about the Golden Dawn's
derivativeness and originality, but allowing marginalized inter-war
fascist movements to be understood as complex, living, constantly
evolving social and political entities, that no matter how
impotent, can still poison democracies and incite violence against
mythic enemies. This book does for fascism what Jurassic Park did
for dinosaurs.' -Roger Griffin, author of The Nature of Fascism and
Modernism and Fascism 'The authors provide solid reference tools to
understand the widening of the extreme right-wing party arena in
Greece. Focusing on the Golden Dawn, the authors offer a
dispassionate and scientific analysis that places the rise of a
pro-Nazi militia in a complex of causal links between demand-side
and supply-side explanations. This is an important contribution to
our comprehension of the electoral breakthrough of Golden Dawn.' -
