Abstract

The article explores the life and influence of George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party, who played a significant role in reviving Nazism in the United States. Despite his efforts, Rockwell failed to gain broad popularity or political power, but his legacy continues to influence far-right extremists. The article also discusses the evolution of neo-Nazi movements from Rockwell's time to the present, highlighting the shift towards decentralized terrorism facilitated by the Internet. Rockwell's impact on modern White nationalism and the mainstreaming of extremist ideas is also examined, emphasizing the importance of understanding the history of American extremism in current research.
