White Riot: The Violent Story of Combat 18

During the 1990s a gang of neo-nazi thugs embarked on a campaign of terror on Britains streets.. They took their name from the first and eighth letters of the alphabet, the initials of Adolph Hitler, and recruited skinheads, violent racists and the most notorious football hooligan gangs. Their aim was imple: to start a race war.In this shocking expose, author Nick Lowles describes how Combat 18 fought street battles with their political rivals, muscled their way to control of the lucrative Blood and Honour music scene, forged links with Loyalist paramilitaries in Ulster and dreamt of creating a whites-only homeland. They led attacks by England soccer fans on tripsabroad, targeted celebrities and inspired an orgy of mayhem in Scandanavia., culminating in car bombings and the killing of two police officers. Finally their leaders fell out in a murderous feud that left one man dead and two others serving life jail terms.
