American Reich: A Murder in Orange County, Neo-Nazis, and a New Age of Hate
by Eric Lichtblau
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice from the
Pulitzer-winning author of the New York Times bestseller
The Nazis Next Door, this is a deeply reported exploration of the
violent resurgence of hatred and white supremacy through
the lens of Orange County, California--ground zero for racial
extremism. It is the story of one brutal murder there that
revealed the deep roots of violent bigotry as a bellwether
for the country. Revealing how Orange County has exported
racial hatred to the rest of the country and the world, American
Reich weaves this tragic tale together with stories from across
the nation. It shows what this haunted place and the colliding
paths of two of its residents reveal about America's fractured
soul and our hope for healing.
