Who actually is Jussi Halla-aho, the chairman of the populist Finns party? This book tells his story starting from his family history, including childhood in the suburbs of Tampere, short lived career in a speed metal band, his journey in becoming a specialist in Slavic languages, his famous blog Scripta, which paved the way to popularity and a large number of loyal followers, all the way to becoming the leader of the currently largest political party and the opposition in Finland. This is not a fan book but it's not overtly critical either. It navigates in the neutral waters but leaves no doubt what Jussi Halla-aho and his party thinks about immigration. This book doesn't forget to mention their links to far right movements and the historical academic foundations of ethnic nationalism and national socialism, which might anger some of their fans. I'm sure their opponents will probably enjoy reading this book more. The author has done an incredible amount of background work!
