"It's the late nineteen seventies and racism, especially in the form of the National Front, is getting worse, much worse. Anti-Fascist is a personal account, written from a strictly working class perspective, of the street fighting that took place to defeat the racists -- Brick Lane, Wood Green, Southall, Lewisham and more. This book is unlikely to appeal to pacifists."
Lux mostly wants to recall punch ups. The alphabet soup of movements (NF = National Front, BM = British Movement, Festival of Light, etc.) hints that for a decade starting in the late 60s he was a front line witness to the development of organized, racist right wing organizations in Britain. Still, key personages and developments such as Enoch Powell and the Ulster Unionist Party recede into the background as street encounters at marches takes the limelight in this nearly 90 pages of missed opportunity.
