Russ Bellant (original) (raw)

Russ Bellant (born 1949) is an American journalist, political activist, and author. He was an Associate of Political Research Associates. Old Nazis, the New Right, and the Republican Party is Bellant's most widely cited work. Chris Simpson wrote in the preface, "This book presents some of the best new research into the seamy side of the 'Reagan Revolution.' Russ Bellant's careful dissection of the American Security Council Foundation and of certain Republican Party organizations clearly establishes that neo-fascist thinking is flourishing among some of the right-wing activists who today drape themselves in the American flag."
