Review:

"Paul Hockenos, the Central and European correspondent for "In These Times, has written a pioneering and readable account of the rise of the extreme right in contemporary Eastern Europe."-"Washington Post Book World "Hockenos provides the best English-language account of how a neofascist underground developed in the self-avowed antifascist state."-"The Progressive ...""Free to Hate is a detailed and well-reported survey of the emerging far right in Eastern Europe, a region where rabid demagogues have thrived since 1989. Hockenos has done a fine job of unravelling the right's many strains, connecting the different movements to their historical, religious or cultural antecedents...."-"Toronto Globe and Mail
