Terrorist attacks across Western Europe have provoked a wave of extreme, politicised Islamophobia. American politicians have made it virtually impossible for Syrian refugees to be resettled, Germany's once-open doors are closing fast and even a progressive beacon like Denmark is now seizing the assets of refugees at its border. This climate has already helped propel Donald Trump to the White House, endangered Angela Merkel's hopes of re-election in Germany and put Marine Le Pen within striking distance of the �Elys�ee Palace. This book explains how we got here and why the new right has grown so strong in countries that have historically been defenders of human rights and models of tolerance.
