5.0 out of 5 stars stirring political intrigue and serving as role models to a new generation of white supremacists like Americans Francis Parker Y
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2016

If you thought Nazism died with Hitler, think again. In The Beast Reawakens, journalist Martin A. Lee documents the revival of fascist ideals from the wake of the Second World War to recent violent incidents in Europe and America. Defeated in war, many Nazis built new and profitable lives for themselves, stirring political intrigue and serving as role models to a new generation of white supremacists like Americans Francis Parker Yockey, whose book Imperium became the bible of anti-Semitism, and Willis Carto, who continues to run several ostensibly mainstream policy groups that deny the Holocaust ever took place. Often forced underground yet certain of their cause, this second generation of extremists can be linked to such recent violence as the Oklahoma City bombings, the shocking lynching of James Byrd in Jasper, Texas, and the abortion clinic bombings by Eric Rudolf, who remains a fugitive. With extraordinary detail and insight, The Beast Reawakens examines the many strands of rightwing extremism worldwide to put the current fascist resurgence in contemporary perspective

5.0 out of 5 stars A necessity for those wanting to understand the development of European, Middle-eastern and south American politics
Reviewed in the United States on 18 May 2013

A book that beautifully covers a blind-spot in modern historical accounts of European,Middle-eastern and south American socio-political development. That were was a diaspora of National Socialist that spread throughout the middle East, and South America, and who funded the rebirth of the German Reich, is necessary to grasp if one wants to understand the evolution of European and Middle Eastern politics as the world heads into the rough geo-political climate of post-cold-war politics.

What are the main ideological forces vying for ascendancy in our world today? Ideological warfare has a far more significant role in what will happen in unfolding world history than the regional issues such as the Arab-spring and the threat of hegemony or terrorism.

And the secret maintenance of National socialism, and its political rebirth in the rise of the EU, and in rise of fundamentalist Islam, and the many police-states that persist to this day all around the globe, and the movement of democratic states toward police-states all can only be viewed clearly in their connection with the planned, and carried-out post WW 2 strategy of the National Socialist establishment of the Third Reich.

The author does not focus on this association between the authoritarian ideology of the underground Nazi establishment an the rise of authoritarian ideologies (and religious movements) around the globe, but his documentation of the authoritarian movements funded by and organized by former Nazi officers allows one to connect the dots easily.

I think this topic and this book are must reading for people who want to get an overview of the political religious, ideological and military conflicts that are only going to grow more devastating as the modern world descends into utter solution-less chaos.

What an eye-opening relevant novel that really lays out the constant festering of fascism. Thoroughly researched, interesting, and at times stranger than fiction. Get this immediately!

4.0 out of 5 stars Is any war truly winnable?
Reviewed in the United States on 28 July 2000

Subtitled: Millions died to end fascism. It survived to mount a comeback. This is the story of how and why.
Does anyone ever really win a war?
Feelings of resentment are harbored as revenge is planned, philosophies and belief systems do not die because someone managed a bloodier "coup" than those he has conquered. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis is the story of the growth of fascism in this millenium. The story of the incorporation of Nazi science and medicine into our culture today is so obvious as to be ludicrous, if anyone took the time to look. The names that never appeared in the Nuremburg trial. The medical experimentation that went on in the 50s, the assassination of the leader of the free world with hardly a rumble as every policy JFK was implementing was silently, systematically reversed and drugs and Vietnam took out the best and the brightest of a new generation. Radiation experiments, secret CIA plots and counter plots, mind control projects, remote viewing, lies, secrets and counter coups...anyone who has the slightest idea that we are living in the same USA we read about in our history books is very naive indeed. This is an important book to read.
How bad did the holocaust have to get before enough individuals with conscience worked together to *try* to put a stop to it? And still it goes on...it will take more than an "atom bomb" to stop the terrorization. We did not end the war. We simply coopted it. Victory to the US, a country more violent and ruthless than the country conquered.
There's got to be a better way to peace than through terror. Through reading and writing to each other, maybe we can find out what that better way might be.

New Age of Barbarism
2.0 out of 5 stars A Look at the Neo-Nazi Underground - Severely Marred by Left Wing Hysteria.
Reviewed in the United States on 17 June 2008
Verified Purchase
The book _The Beast Reawakens: Fascism's Resurgence from Hitler's Spymasters to Today's Neo-Nazi Groups and Right-Wing Extremists_, first published in 1997 and revised in 2000, by journalist and author Martin A. Lee is an account of the Neo-Nazi underground. Unfortunately, while this account does contain some useful information, it is highly biased and severely marred by left wing moralizing, manic anti-Germanism and anti-Russianism, and McCarthyism in reverse. As such, the author essentially presents a conspiracy theory arguing that Nazis are at root behind various disparate right wing movements (which he all connects together) while at the same time mocking those who adhere to "anti-government conspiracy theories". The author is extremely biased in his account and views Nazism as the single greatest evil ever to exist on earth. As such, he will take any position against it, including cozying up to the former Soviets, arguing that the fall of the Berlin Wall was not a good thing, or taking the side of America against Europe. Further, the author apes the rhetoric of right-wing populism by maintaining that those who oppose globalization are the same as those who promote it (somehow?). The author further believes in a militia conspiracy blaming the militias for the Oklahoma City Bombing quoting extensively from such dubious pro-communist sources as The Southern Poverty Law Center and the British anti-fascist journal _The Searchlight_. As such, this book can only be profitably read if one is capable of sorting through the author's sickening biases and sanctimonious moralizing. However, in many respects this book contains some of the same information as is to be found in _Dreamer of the Day_ (1999) by Kevin Coogan which fortunately spares us the moralizing and bias.

The book begins with the author's ranting Preface in which he argues that fascism and right-wing violence are on the rise. He proposes a conspiracy theory behind this linking disparate and separate far right movements together. However, he completely ignores violence committed in other forms and left-wing violence. The author then turns in this first part of this book to "A Surfeit of Spies" in which he discusses various spies of the Nazis. In the first chapter, the author discusses "Shifting Alliances", mentioning Otto Skorzeny ("Scarface"), the Gehlin Org, and ODESSA and the complicated relationship between the former Nazis, the United States, and the Soviet Union following the end of the Second World War and the beginning of the Cold War. The author maintains that former Nazis were recruited by U.S. intelligence and played an important role in the Cold War. The second chapter is entitled "The Seesaw Strategy" and maintains that the fascists tried to steer a middle course between the United States and the Soviet state playing one against the other. The author discusses such things as Hitler's bodyguard Otto Ernst Remer, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Leon Degrelle and the Nazis in Madrid and South America, and various attempts of Nazi spooks to join up with Soviets and other "Bolsheviks of the right". The third chapter is entitled "Neo-Nazi Disaspora". Here, the author traces the role of Neo-Nazism as it spread to America and notes the involvement of certain obscure individuals in various Nazi type cult organizations. The author mentions such individuals as Harold Keith Thompson and the National Renaissance Party, Francis Parker Yockey (a super-intelligent mystery man who had obscure links to the Soviets and advocated a pan-European Imperium) and the European Liberation Front, and the rise of Juan Peron in Argentina. The second part of this book is entitled "Political Soldiers". In a chapter entitled "The Swastika and the Crescent", the author notes the relationship between Neo-Nazis and the Arab world mentioning in particular Nasser's Egypt. In the following chapter entitled "Nostalgics and Revisionists", the author again focuses on Yockey explaining the role of Willis Carto founder of the Liberty Lobby and others. The author discusses the brazen Neo-Nazi George Lincoln Rockwell founder of the American Nazi Party as well as various movements in Europe. In particular, the author mentions the role of the Jeune Europe movement of Jean-Francois Thiriart (a reaction against American imperialism) and notes the increasing tendency among the far right of the period to flirt with the left, both in terms of Soviet communism and a Third World resurgence in an effort to overcome the onslaught of American imperialism. Such flirtations with the left led to problematic areas when for example Juan Peron who was brought into power on a populist coalition of left and right turned on his left wing supporters. Following this, is a chapter entitled "A Gathering Storm" discussing some of the "New Right" movements. The author discusses various problems faced by a post-war Germany, the French New Right including mention of Alain de Benoist (however the author despicably tries to blame de Benoist for anti-immigrant violence committed by Le Pen's movement despite the fact that de Benoist specifically avoided such issues), and a Brown and Green alliance in a post-war Germany. The author also discusses the rise of the Liberty Lobby in the United States, its alleged relation to the Republican Party, and the role of the Institute for Historical Review and the journal _The Spotlight_ under Carto. The third part of this book is entitled "Post Cold-War Fascism". The first chapter in this part is entitled "Germany Reunited". Unfortunately, here the author gives vent to some of the worst anti-Germanic sentiment, blaming problems faced by the reunited Germany and economic hardships on the fall of the Berlin Wall and maintaining that poor Germany has not been sufficiently punished for her supposed crimes. The second chapter in this part is entitled "Shadow Over the East". The author considers such things as the rise of Prussia, the reunited Germany and the relationship between East Germany and West Germany, the role of the Balkans mentioning Tudjman of the Croatians and Milosevic of the Serbs, and the advent of Russia in a post-Soviet era. The case of Russia is particularly interesting and the author examines such bizarre trends as the rise of the National Bolsheviks and Zhirinovsky, mentioning also the writer Eduard Limonov and the possibility of a Red-Brown alliance. The next chapter is entitled "From the Margins to the Mainstream". Again the author indulges in the worst sort of conspiracy theory hype, maintaining that the militia movement and white supremacists were behind the Oklahoma City Bombings. The author also discusses such individuals as David Duke, Pat Robertson, Patrick Buchanan, and the authors of _The Bell Curve_ attempting to link such disparate individuals into a single movement. Finally, the author ends with a pro-immigrant rant. The book ends with a Conclusion in which the author re-iterates his biases and maintains that fascism exists even within democracy and must be rooted out at all costs.

It is unfortunate that while this book offers much useful information on various players in the Neo-Nazi underground that the author has decided to let his biases interfere with genuine research. However, if one can stomach to read through the left wing moralizing, there is some interesting information to be obtained here. In particular, developments in Europe offer interesting possibilities including the problematic of linking the far right with either the United States or the Soviet state or various Third World causes. Such developments continue to play an important role in our world today.
