Previously a senior reporter at HuffPost, he’s done work for MSNBC, Zeteo, and WNYC. His reporting chronicled the rapid radicalization of the GOP, and has helped unmask white supremacist cops, soldiers, teachers, and politicians. Mathias was a Deadline Awards finalist for feature writing. He lives in New York and goes by @LetsGoMathias on BlueSky and X. A searing, provocative investigation into the rise of white nationalist and neo-Nazi movements in the United States, centered on the anti-fascist groups working to expose and stop these hateful factions. Demonized as “extremist” by conservatives and liberals alike, “antifa” became a bogeyman during Donald Trump’s first term. But few Americans understood the dangerous work antifa was doing to disrupt and unmask a new generation of white supremacists or listened when antifa sounded the alarm about these white supremacists taking positions of power. Now this underground network of militant anti-fascists is determined to stop the rising tide of fascism in America. No matter the cost. In the tradition of in-the-room investigative classics such as The Smartest Guys in the Room and Bad Blood, To Catch a Fascist follows different factions of antifascists as they work to unmask hateful extremists before they commit devastating acts of violence. With searing detail and exclusive reporting, To Catch a Fascist paints a vivid picture of the stakes in this ongoing, often unseen war between opposite ends of the political spectrum, highlighting the scrappy resourcefulness and resilience of anti-fascist movements against their increasingly violent adversaries. Utilizing razor-sharp storytelling and eye-opening insight, this timely and necessary book reveals the human cost, moral dilemmas, and unwavering determination involved in fighting white supremacy. Both a call to action and a pulse-raising look at the powerful work being done to combat today’s gravest threat to democracy, To Catch a Fascist will inspire you to fight for your community.

My wife Karla and I have been married for 35 years. She became a family doctor while I served, and we raised 5 kids and have 4 grandkids. After spending 40 years in the military, including serving as a combat infantry commander in Afghanistan, I retired from the military as an Army General, and Karla and I came right back here to Georgia to live on the farm. We are feeling very blessed. But talking with folks around here, a lot of people are not feeling so blessed. Veterans are struggling. The rising cost of living keeps everyone working extra hard to make ends meet. And everyday people just don’t feel like anyone’s listening to them. The way I see it, Georgians work hard. But our hard work would go a lot farther if we had someone in Congress working to raise Georgians’ pay and lower costs, so everybody can have the tools and opportunities to build a good life. We should be building things here again, exporting American products instead of American jobs, and growing our economy with more quality, good-paying jobs close to home here in North Georgia. For years, we’ve watched Marjorie Taylor Greene on TV, prioritizing national drama over the people of Northwest Georgia. The conversation has changed since Marjorie has quit, giving us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally bring real leadership back to this district. This is a different race than the one we fought in 2024. I still see how hungry our neighbors are for a representative who actually works for them. We built a historic coalition that proved we are ready for change. Now, with an open seat, we are no longer just fighting against someone; we are fighting for our future.
