What makes a neo-Nazi become a convinced anti-fascist or a radical
left-winger become a devout Salafist? How do they manage to fit
into their new environment and gain acceptance as a former enemy?
The people featured in this book made highly puzzling journeys,
first venturing into extremist milieus and then deciding to switch
to the opposite side. By using their extraordinary life-stories and
their own narratives, this book provides the first in-depth
analysis of how and why people move between seemingly opposing
extremist environments that can sometimes overlap and influence
each other. It aims to understand how these extremists manage to
convince their new group that they can be trusted, which also
allows us to dive deep into the psychology of extremism and
terrorism. This fascinating work will be of immense value to those
studying radicalization and counter-radicalization in terrorism
studies, social psychology and political science.
