| Summary/Abstract |
Several novels have attained popularity in the extreme right subculture, most notably, The Turner Diaries-a tale of race war that convulses America. Some observers have characterized these novels as blueprints for revolution and terrorist campaigns. The medium of fiction can be an effective vehicle for propagandizing to those persons who may not be amenable to non-fiction political treatises. This article reviews some of the more popular extremist novels. By doing so, it provides insight into the worldviews and aspirations of the contemporary extreme right.

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay examines strategies to counter the threat of lone wolf terrorism. Lone wolves implement a tactical approach dubbed "leaderless resistance," which has become popular in several extremist subcultures. Although most episodes of lone wolf terrorism have not been highly destructive, there are notable exceptions that have claimed a substantial number of victims. The lone wolf trend should be contextualized in the evolution of conflict and strategy in which smaller and smaller entities figure prominently. Elements of the counterinsurgency doctrine can be applied to lone wolf terrorism. A comprehensive counterterrorism strategy must prepare for the prospect of lone wolf terrorism because of the increasing number of small-scale attacks, the large number of soft targets in contemporary society, and the potential damage that individuals can cause with the use of weapons of mass destruction.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the late 1990s, Horst Mahler, a former leader of the Red Army Faction and scion of the radical left, announced his affinity for the extreme right and joined the National Democratic Party of Germany (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands; NPD)-Germany's principal far right party. Later distancing himself from party politics, he founded the Deutsches Kolleg, a far right think tank that promotes German nationalism. Although ostensibly now a rightist, Mahler has synthesized much of his original left-wing ideology into a far right Weltanschauung that features nationalism, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism, with a strident critique of capitalism. As such, it has the potential to appeal to some segments of the contemporary anti-globalization movement, the international extreme right, and even Islamists.

| Summary/Abstract |
Increasingly, individuals and small groups are responsible for some of the most lethal acts of terrorism. In many parts of the world, the setting is not conducive to large, clandestine groups insofar as many foreign governments are coordinating their counterterrorism efforts with the US government, as they seek to dismantle terrorist organizations and deny them funding and resources. On the other hand, the emergence of new technology, such as the Internet, allows like-minded activists to operate on their own initiative without the direction of a formal organization - hence, the emergence of leaderless resistance as a new operational strategy and the miniaturization of terrorist and insurgent movements around the world today. The article discusses the development of the leaderless resistance concept and examines four case studies - the American extreme right, the anti-globalization movement, eco-terrorism, and the global Islamic resistance movement.

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay examines the legend and legacy of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Through his exploits, Zarqawi attained a legendary stature in the global
jihadist movement. His ability to evade capture for three years in the midst
of a massive manhunt in an occupied country is without precedent in
modern military history. By doing so, he developed an aura of invincibility
that kept alive the spirit of jihadism while al- Qaeda was quickly being
dismantled and enabled the organization to be successfully transformed
into the movement of al-Qaedism, which inspired jihadists from around
the globe to converge on Iraq. However, his brutal attacks against the Shi'a
were highly divisive and prevented the development of a truly nationalist
insurgency from taking hold in Iraq as well as undercutting Islamic unity in
the Middle East

| Summary/Abstract |
In order to mount a nuclear attack, a terrorist group would have to
surmount a daunting series of obstacles. Although the probability of
nuclear terrorism is still quite low, the potential damage could be
so catastrophic that it merits attention. Moreover, a nuclear attack
on a capital city could conceivably decapitate the central government.
The prospect of strategic nuclear terrorism could be an attractive
alternative to extremist and terrorist groups that have virtually no
hope of achieving their objectives through conventional political
means. Various extremist and terrorist subcultures have contemplated
this course of action. In order to avert the consequences of this
scenario, the system of the continuity of government should be
strengthened.

| Summary/Abstract |
The relationship between the American far right and Russia has varied over time. During the Cold War, American right-wing populists were in the forefront of opposition to the Soviet Union. But as the Cold War waned, the far right became more sympathetic to Russia, viewing it as the last remaining white bastion nation in a world in which a “rising tide of color” threatened to engulf the white race. Despite the recent deterioration of relations between Russia and the United States, the contemporary alt-right is increasingly sympathetic toward President Vladimir Putin and his nationalist agenda. The realm of cyberspace presents new opportunities for the fledging alliance between Russia and its supporters among the alt-right.
