‘Important and courageous’ James O’Brien

Harry Shukman led a double life. Friends and family knew him as a journalist, but unbeknownst to them he was secretly infiltrating the British far right. Equipped with a hidden camera, he posed as 'Chris' and set out to expose right-wing extremists.

From canvassing with Britain First to befriending Holocaust deniers, neo-Nazis and a Silicon Valley-backed race-science organisation, Shukman again and again risked his safety and sanity to remove the far right’s terrifyingly everyday mask.

Now, we must ensure it stays off.

'Anyone who wants to understand British politics has to read this book.' Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism
