Ever hear of The Jakarta Method?
I had not. I looked it up and have since bought the book, and just... I have no words that can really do it justice.
It's a lot, but it's a really good (and important) read. I found that, for me, it really hammered home how much of the conflict out there is class war where the nazi's and their adjacents ( neo-nazis, kkk, christo-fascists, mujahideen, etc) are ultimately just the foot-soldiers of capital against the workers of the world.
Unfortunately, The Jakarta Method just kinda scratches the surface of the horrors of the last century. I definitely recommend Vijay Prishad's Washington Bullets for a more broad overview of what Jakarta Method covers at an individual level. Also, The Blowback podcast is great, especially Season 2 if you're looking for CIA shenanigans. I've not read a book on it yet, but Operation Gladio is also pretty important when it comes to the CIA and supporting nazis and other fash.
