Where do I even begin? The Turner Diaries was described as “explicitly racist and anti-Semitic” by the New York Times and was coined the “bible of the racist right” by the FBI. This book is white nationalist propaganda disguised as a narrative novel. Essentially, the novel focuses on a revolution taking place in the United States which inevitably leads to the overthrow of the federal government, a nuclear war, and a race war that leads to the mass genocide and systematic extermination of all non-whites, Jews, politicians, and “liberal actors.” This novel is so violent and destructive that it has incited multiple hate crimes and white terrorism, specifically, the 1984 assassination of Alan Berg, the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing, and the 1999 London Nail Bombings. One of the scariest things about this book is not that someone wrote it, but that it has been widely read and praised by far-right extremists and white supremacists. The term “day of the rope” is even coined from this novel, referencing a day in the fictional society where all “race traitors” are publicly hanged. Numerous white supremacist terrorist acts have occurred due to the publication of this novel: “The Order” white supremacist terrorist organization named after a political organization in The Turner Diaries which assassinated Alan Berg, murdered two other people, committed robberies, counterfeited money, and violently attempted to provoke a race war in America; Timothy McVeigh who committed The Oklahoma City Bombing of 1995 was founded with multiple highlighted and annotated pages of The Turner Diaries and whose attack was intended to resemble the bombing of the FBI’s headquarters in the novel; John William King, the murderer of James Byrd, reportedly said “We’re going to start The Turner Diaries early;” David Copeland, a British neo-Nazi, killed three people in a bombing and quoted The Turner Diaries when being interviewed by the police; Jacob D. Robida attacked three men at a gay bar in 2006, fled, killed a hostage and a police officer, and a copy of The Turner Diaries in addition to other neo-nazi propaganda were found in his home; Zack Davies, who was convicted of a racist murder attempt in 2015, also possessed a copy of The Turner Diaries and other neo-Nazi propaganda. A book this violent, dangerous, disgusting, and hateful absolutely should be censored and banned.
