I can't remember if I have read that particular book but I have read Griffin before. I actually read this the other week, an essay contained in his book Terrorist's Creed: Fanatical Violence and the Human Need for Meaning. The section on what he calls "Heroic doubling" is quite interesting.

I think his writings are quite good. The way I see it; there is fascism as an idea and fascisms as a movement, and in examples where fascist movements have taken control of the state, fascism as an actual governing regime.

I started reading Ballard's novel Cocaine Nights earlier. Not read this one before.
