The Turner Diaries is a 1978 novel by William Luther Pierce, published under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald. It represents a violent revolution in the United States leading to the overthrow of the federal government, a nuclear war, and ultimately a race war leading to the systematic extermination of non-whites. All groups opposed by the novel’s protagonist, Earl Turner, including Jews, non-whites, “liberal actors,” and politicians, are exterminated.

Summary
The protagonist, Earl Turner, participates in the apocalyptic overthrow of the federal government of the United States (referred to as “the System” throughout the novel). Turner and his fellow insurgents wage a race war that begins in North America and spreads to the rest of the world.
Review
The Turner Diaries was described as “explicitly racist and anti-Semitic” by The New York Times and has been labeled the “bible of the racist right” by the FBI. The book was very influential in shaping white nationalism and the subsequent development of the white genocide theory. It has also inspired numerous hate crimes and acts of terrorism, including the 1984 assassination of Alan Berg, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the 1999 London nail bombings.
