Abstract

This article examines James Mason’s publication Siege, perhaps the most important text for neo-Nazis worldwide today. Taking a deep dive into the contents and various editions of this text, Johnson and Feldman treat Siege thematically, moving from vehement antisemitism and anti-black racism to Mason’s revolutionary doctrines and advocacy of terroristic violence. The form taken by the latter is self-directed (or ‘lone wolf’) terrorism, which Mason was the earliest to champion on amongst neo-Nazi militants. Some of Mason’s violent legacies are then traced to the plethora of neo-Nazi cells and movements to have emerged in recent years, demonstrating how Siege has been a catalyst for attempts to overthrow the ‘System’ of democracy in favor or a neo-Nazi ethno-state.
