Gunaratna and Petho-Kiss aim to better understand the nature of the threat posed by the far right and propose effective provisions and mechanisms for detecting and countering it. The book undertakes a consistent procession and empirical examination of available information to conclude that in order to dissolve the complexity of the associated threat, we need to scrutinise the functioning of far-right threat groups. Analysis on their mode of operation and mindset enable us to identify ways to detect and counter their malicious efforts and activities. The theoretical framework for the analysis lies upon the concept of wave theory. The main question this aims to elaborate is whether far right terrorism constitutes a new wave of global terrorism. Two questions emerge from this statement that require further elaboration. First, is far right terrorism a novel wave of terrorism? If yes, how is it novel and what are the novelties or development in it?
