About this ebook

In this #1 national bestseller, a journalist who's been attacked by Antifa writes a deeply researched and reported account of the group's history and tactics.

When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa.

In Unmasked, Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life. This book contains a trove of documents obtained by the author, published for the first time ever.

"The United States is being attacked in all directions by a movement few understand or recognize." This is the main message of the book. Fear your neighbors there is no room for understanding. "Race riots erupted in May in response to the death of George Floyd...It was later revealed that Floyd’s blood contained a fatal level of fentanyl." Pay attention to the language. To Ngo, the largest civil rights and anti police brutality movement in the history of the world, which occurs in multiple countries is about stoking race antagonism. This disingenuous framing of the events that took place and the subtle racism in these statements echo strongly with people who willing admit to being white nationalists. "Later, in the emergency room, I found out my brain was hemorrhaging." This is just a lie. He flew the next day to do an interview. Andy is very willing to lie to get his point across. He's been known to edit videos before posting them online. Not an honest journalist but a hate monger.

The problem with this book is it's completely one sided. Everyone who is interviewed is a former employee or a person that had a negative interaction with Antifa. Of course all of those people would have negative things to say about them! It's not the truth until you have both sides of the story. This was a book of propaganda is I ever did see one

Even as a fantasy book, the prose is mediocre. I'm not a fan of alternative history books about parallel Earths. They really need to put a warning label on this book, some readers are taking this work of fiction to be reality. It's almost like the famous War of the Worlds broadcast. The author may have a future as a novelist, but he needs to progress as stylist or people won't want tot read his fiction. The villains of the novel are very unrealistic. How would being against facisims destroy Democracy? These people have no institutional power and seem to employ hand weapons. Even with small arms, their is no way a group like this is going to overtake the US military who has tanks and planes. Let alone the police. It's an interesting idea for a fantast novel, but it is probably too outlandish for most readers. I think the author has a real talent for inventing wild stories. If he works on his writing skills and story structure he may have a promising fiction career.
