This book urges both governments and civil society to take on the threat posed by the lone wolves and implement adequate countermeasures. He calls on the authorities to better monitor communication via virtual/social networks to be prepared and ready to fight the cause of this new kind of terrorism at its root, rather than to "pathologize" the attacks of lone racist perpetrators. Hartleb effectively illustrates the root of the threat in how larger ideological packs seem to be able to radicalize individuals who participate in a global right-wing subculture. That is dubious: Far sooner we are concerned with an objective debate, with no zeal or lust for sensationalism", Hartleb states in his book.

Populists and the tabloid press help fuel this image however, many drivers of public opinion too, according to which we must reckon with terrorism everywhere.
"We should not allow ourselves to succumb to panic mongering. Hartleb also criticises how politicians seem reluctant to deal with home-grown right-wing terrorism by individual perpetrators. Throughout the six chapters of the book, dangers emanating from right-wing terrorism are analysed by discussing ideologies, motives and goals to address radicalisation and present countermeasures as well as prevention possibilities. Hartleb presents a comprehensive overview of this new dimension of terrorism that is a present and both a virtual and international threat. The idea of the book originated from Hartleb's work in the case of the murderous assault in Munich in 2016, where he reached the conclusion that it certainly was not an apolitical act, but far-right terrorism in the form of a "lone wolf" attack. Under the title Lone Wolves: The New Terrorism of Right-Wing Single Actors, Florian Hartleb, an expert on terrorism and populism, provides in-depth insights into the biographies of individual perpetrators. The attacks in Hanau, Christchurch, Munich and Norway show that a new form of terrorism is establishing and it represents a growing challenge for our societies.
