Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: Spreading hate -- A white man's world -- Becoming revolutionaries -- "Mein Kampf to a 4/4 beat" -- Europe: the return of the Knights Templar -- Terrorism in real time: social media and the spread of white supremacist violence -- Strategies of white supremacy and the weakness of the cause -- The (d)evolution of white supremacist violence and the measurement of terrorism -- Fighting white supremacy.

Spreading Hate offers a history of the modern white power movement, describing key moments in its evolution since the end of World War Two. Daniel Byman focuses particular attention on how the threat has changed in recent decades, examining how social media is changing the threat, the weaknesses of the groups, and how counterterrorism has shaped the movement as a whole. Each chapter uses an example, such as the Christchurch mosque shooter Brenton Tarrant or the British white hate band Skrewdriver, as a way of introducing broader analytic themes.
