Résumé

'Anyone who wants to understand British politics has to read this book.' Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism'Important and courageous' James O'BrienThe British far right is working to dismantle our democracy. This shocking, eye-opening first-hand account reveals who they are, how they operate and how they are normalising extreme ideologies including eugenics. In summer 2024, riots swept England in the biggest wave of far-right violence in the post-war period.
But far-right activity takes many other forms as well, all of them dangerous. Journalist Harry Shukman knows the dangers all too well: he'd gone undercover to infiltrate these groups. For over a year, he carefully attached his hidden lapel camera and pretended to be an extremist named Chris. We follow Shukman as he hangs out in the pub with a secretive community network, canvasses with political party Britain First and attends a neo-Nazi conference.
We meet a circle of Holocaust deniers, a race science organisation with a major Silicon Valley investor and right-wing think tanks supported by Conservative policymakers. What we witness is hard to believe, or stomach. Year of the Rat is a gripping and urgent exposé - nail-bitingly tense, darkly absurd and utterly chilling. Risking his safety and sanity, Shukman has removed the far right's terrifyingly everyday mask.
Now, we must ensure it stays off.
