From its roots in revolution and war, Ukraine’s Azov movement has grown from a militia of fringe far-right figures and football hooligans fending off Russian-backed forces into a multipronged social movement that has become the envy of the global far right. In this first English-language book on the Azov movement, Michael Colborne explains how Azov came to be and continues to exploit Ukraine’s fractured social and political situation—including the only ongoing war on European soil – to build one of the most ambitious and dangerous far-right movements in the world.

Major John Richardson (4 October 1796 - 12 May 1852) died in poverty in a back street of New York City in 1852, and lies buried in an unknown grave; even so, his writings received more attention in the United States, and in Britain, where he had also lived, than they did in Canada. Richardson has been described as the first Upper-Canadian novelist, and the first Canadian novelist with an international reputation.
