#496. The Turner Diaries
The Turner Diaries (1978/11 hours): Written by William L Pierce, one of America's most prominent white
nationalist leaders of the late 20th century, this novel deals with a
military white uprising and revolution against the establishment, first
in America and then spreading around the globe. Labelled as the "most
dangerous book in America" by law-enforcement agencies, this book has
served as an inspiration to at least two militant white groups, "The
Order" in America and the "Order Boervolk" in South Africa, both of whom
turned to violent action. This book is in the form of a diary kept by
its hero, Earl Turner. Drawn into a secret white resistance army, Turner
takes part in and describes large parts of the revolution which spreads
across the globe and ultimately sees Israel, New York City and
Washington D.C. destroyed in nuclear assaults. Often derided, but
acknowledged even by its bitterest enemies as one of the most
influential novels of modern times. Guaranteed to make the reader not
stop until the very last page.
