Although its topic is cutting edge and contemporary, Far-right politics in Europe fails to provide incisive analyses and instead settles for copious description, graced by the occasional qualifier. The text is replete with examples and references, but lacks any clear line of argument or defining thesis. The narrative is generally rather unguided and it is without an overall sense of direction. These failings are partially explained by the fact that the book is a translation from French of Les droites extrêmes en Europe. Jean-Yves Camus is an expert on the French far right and radical Islamic groups. He is an associate research fellow of the French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs and, since 2014, he has run the Observatory of Radical Politics at the Jean Jaurès Foundation, a left-wing Parisian think-tank. Nicolas Lebourg is also situated on the political left in France, with ties to the French Socialist Party. He is a member of Camus's Observatory at the Jean Jaurès Foundation and a research fellow at the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at George Washington University. Both are well-known and well-respected observers of extreme political movements. Despite their left-wing political views, the authors do not force on the reader an ideological bias in their examination of the far right in Europe. Their failing is the lack of a frame of reference, rather than having one which is too strong
