 This book was extremely interesting. I haven't read very many books about White Nationalists, and I learned a lot about their activities and belief systems from this book. The subject of this book was Derek Black, who came from a family of White Nationalists. In fact, his father founded the online racist website and forum group, Stormfront, where all manner of vitriol was spewed forth. David Duke, notorious Ku Klux Klan leader was made his godfather, and had great influence over his life and beliefs. Once his beliefs and activities were uncovered by other students at his college, he began to expose himself to other religions, cultures, and ideals. It was inspiring to see the kindness and attempted understanding that people showed him in hopes that he would abandon his radical views. I really enjoyed his journey and the influence that college had over his previously homeschooled education and beliefs. I would recommend this book.
