George Lincoln Rockwell flew U.S. Navy fighters against the Germans and Japanese during World War II. After the war, he raised a family with his college sweetheart, worked as a commercial artist - and founded the American Nazi Party. By the mid-Sixties, he was a charismatic national political figure. On August 25, 1967, he lay murdered in a laundromat's parking lot. This is the first time the details of Rockwell's bizarre, hate-filled life have been told.

Hate is the first book to chronicle George Lincoln Rockwell's personal and political successes and failures, to sift through the facts of his murder, and to gauge the ramifications of his appalling actions, the regrettable effects of which linger to this day.
