Blueprint for Terror: James Mason’s „Siege" and Its Global Impact on Neo-Nazis

James Mason’s “Siege” is often considered the bible of neo-Nazi terrorists. It champions an accelerationist ideology of decentralized attacks to cause mayhem and bring about the end of democracy. And since its release as an anthology in 1992, it has gone on to inspire new generations of far-right terrorists worldwide from the NSU to Atomwaffen Division.

In a discussion with the authors Spencer Sunshine (US) and Karolin Schwarz (Germany), hosted by the journalist Nicholas Potter (UK), we will take a closer look at the current state of neo-Nazi terrorism in the United States, its links with European far-right networks, as well as the origins and afterlife of one of the far right’s most dangerous texts.
