At last, the incendiary underground bestseller The Turner Diaries is available to the general public. This racist novel was written in the late 1970 s as a view of a future America where the government would be controlled by demonized caricatures of Jews and blacks. Its author boasts, It offends almost everyone; Afro-Americans, feminists, gays and lesbians, liberals, communists, Mexicans, democrats, the FBI, egalitarians, and Jews. Especially Jews; for it portrays them as incarnations of everything that is evil and destructive. The Turner Diaries even without the support of traditional book store sales, has 190,000 copies in print. A series of disturbing real-life parallels to the book culminated in last year s Oklahoma City bombing. The FBI says this novel was the actual blueprint for that bombing. Now, for the first time on the Internet, The Turner Diaries is available to anyone who wants to know exactly what these militia groups are up to. The publisher Lyle Stuart has written a provocative forward denouncing the book but defending freedom of expression and emphasizing the importance of the public s right to know. The Turner Diaries is a must for any citizen interested in understanding the mind-set of the forces threatening our democracy.
