The Turner Diaries by Andrew Macdonald (William Luther Pierce) (Second edition, first printing September 1980)
Police officials and journalists have called this futuristic novel a
"blueprint" for the takeover of America by white extremists. This is
the book that reportedly inspired Timothy McVeigh to blow up the
Oklahoma City federal building. Written by a physics professor turned
revolutionary, it tells how a militant white underground organization
defeats a ruthless liberal-Jewish tyranny to establish a new nation.
With more than 200,000 copies in print, this has been one of America's
most widely read underground best sellers. No matter what you may think
of it, this is one novel that everyone concerned about the future should
read.
Written by William L. Pierce under the pen name of Andrew Macdonald, The Turner Diaries
originally appeared in serial form in issues of a tabloid newspaper he
edited. Until his death in 2002, Dr. Pierce was chairman of the National
Alliance, which under his leadership became the largest and most
influential organization in the US dedicated to the interests of
European Americans. Pierce’s many articles, essays, booklets and
recorded talks are still influential.
Media Comments on The Turner Diaries
“Everything
from how to illegally tap into electrical power to the best way to blow
up a nuclear power plant ... the book has the same fascination as a Tom
Clancy techno-thriller.” – Molly Ivins, nationally syndicated columnist
“Pierce captures an American voice not often present in books:
husky, ruefully wise, determined, given to bursts of awe for the
sacrifices that patriots make for their nation and their race.” –
Michael Tolkin, Village Voice
“Pierce’s novel airs complaints many people are familiar with –
schoolsturned into jungles, bureaucratic intrusion into people’s lives,
the disarming of the populace.” – Gary Wills, nationally syndicated
columnist
“An explicitly racist and anti-Semitic work of
political fiction that Federal officials have called the Bible of the
extremist right ...” -- The New York Times
“Well written, gripping, with a consistent logic. A good read. And utterly sick." – New York Post columnist
Paperback, 220 pp
Note: This is an original copy of the second edition, first printing September 1980, published by National Vanguard Books. This has a different cover than the later second edition copies. It also is mass market paperback size rather than trade paperback size like the editions currently available. Cover shows wear. Condition is good. Unmarked but shows definite signs of age. Very rare book.
