Jake Hanrahan (who founded Popular Front) has a book out now. You can buy it here: www.gargoylebook.com​ Gargoyle is a compilation of written work by British journalist Jake Hanrahan, collecting his on-the-ground reporting from all the wrong crowds. In this book he visits hidden places and speaks to tough people, from the militant hideouts in Kurdistan, to the secret safe-houses of dark web drug dealers. Hanrahan has a particular knack for discovering, and gaining access to, the dark underbellies of the modern era. Gargoyle is his first-hand documentation of these dangerous and often bizarre journeys.
