Description
Summary:This essay examines the career of Michael Collins Piper, an important figure in the American far right subculture. A prolific writer, his underground books advancing various conspiracy theories have in recent years found a receptive audience in the Islamic world. Casting himself as an alternative media representative, he has conferred with leading statesmen, including Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates Sultan Ibn Zayd al‐Nahayan, former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Muhammad and Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad. His outreach could presage greater cooperation between segments of the far Right and the Muslim world in the future.
