Format:Paperback
Ridgeway was given unprecedented access to some of the most hated and revered figures on the racist right in the preparation of this study. Of particular interest are both the flow chart that introduces the book, showing the connections between hate groups past and present and the sections on the Oklahoma City bombing.

Very disturbing book
11 May 2009
Format:Paperback
Not comprehensive, but informative. I'm interested in the post below by a self proclaimed neo-Nazi, who denounces the book as "uninformed." I think it's worth noting that oftentimes, those who are on the inside have a far less subjective view of a movement than a researcher does. For this reason, I think Ridgeway has provided some great insights. That said, it's certainly not comprehensive, but a very good start. That and the fact that it provides plenty of (disturbing) visuals, I highly recommend the book.

Expect No More Than A Basic Introducton
22 April 2000
Format:Paperback
I bought this because there really are very few books on the subject at all, and even this one is only going to give you a general introduction to the matter. What I have learned so far is this: When voters fail to provide places for young people to participate in sports and dancing, they shouldn't be surprised when those same kids - their kids - wander the streets and get into trouble. On the same wavelength, when it becomes routine in the media to criticize only whites for social ills, and to dismiss the value of an ethnic heritage for young whites in forming a positive image of themselves (As it does for the minorities allowed to form a strong self-image that way), it shouldn't surprise parents and nonwhites that more and more white youths are taking an interest in the most notorious and forbidden white leaders of all time. These kids reason that they want the opposite of the powerlessness that comes from accepting a conforming silence about race. They see how it saddles their more easily frightened parents and are determined to throw it off. And young people are often quick to express their resistance when a conformity seems so obviously unfair. Just as the gang mentality grows among blacks and hispanics, expect it to grow among whites. Yes, the kids will be sorry later, as David Duke certainly was when he went into mainstream politics, but society is also suffering because these kids went searching for their ethnic heritage and found no one to learn it from except someone representing their parents' worst nightmare.

Just great! The issue is very interesting itself but apart from the pure facts I received actually more than I had needed. Manifests, pictures, people's profiles were just perfect for writing my diploma thesis: "Active Hate Groups in the USA". I guees very few of us realize the scale of racism in the USA. I just wonder if the movement can in fact take over? what's your opinion?
