Wholesale The Hands That Crafted The Bomb: Making Of An Antifascist

Paperback, 256 Pages: Josh Fernandez, a community college professor in Northern California, finds himself under investigation for “soliciting students for potentially dangerous activities” after starting an antifascist club on campus. As he fights to keep his job, he reflects on a life marked by chaos, protest, and rage—from a troubled childhood in Boston to clashes with Nazi boneheads in California’s ’90s punk scene. Early antifascist efforts fell apart after a fatal knife fight, and Fernandez spiraled into addiction, homelessness, and street-level resistance. Eventually, he found focus through running, writing, and raising two kids with radical values. Now a professor, antifascist organizer, and self-defense instructor, Fernandez channels his anger into purpose. This gripping memoir explores how a lifetime of struggle, rebellion, and resilience shaped one man’s fight against fascism—and for his place in the world.
