Unlike the other reviewer, I found this informational. The author, as an expert on extremism , took fifteen years to research and write this work. It is a study of the period of racism beginning after ww2, and the history of racial extremists such as William Pierce, The Order, Christian Identity and Timothy McVeigh, to name a few.
Also, some anecdotal examples in the other review have nothing to do with the book. There are probably books on the Asian culture in America, but the title of this book pretty much lets you know this book is not that .

In 2 words this book is: DISGUSTING RUBBISH
Here is why:

Main points:
Lets blame every WHITE Person for our own failures. And Make them believe it.

FORCE every WHITE Person to hate them selves. The same way the "failed-to launch-moralizers" hate them selves and everyone else for working hard and achieving something. Because by every WHITE Persons hard work they are stealing from those who dont want to work at all but want a free ride on the backs of the WHITE filth.

If the WHITE filth achievers dont submit, then they need to be beaten into submission.
ALL violence by the peaceful rioters, burning looting and murdering is justifiable because the much put upon FAILED-to-LAUNCH claim moral high-ground.

What is their (the FAILED-to-LAUNCH) evidence of being superior? They self identify as superior, therefore they are.
And of course this iLogic is helped by Intersectionality: the more victimhood subscriptions they can come up with the more valid their status, the more superior they FEEL
What is the evidence of the WHITE filth being evil? well, they work hard, they honor christian values, they believe in self responsibility and accountability. They believe in merit based system, and not equality of outcome. (meaning if I dont want to work, I deserve 1/2 of your hard earned $$ so that we both have equal outcome in life. Sounds unfair? if you thing so then you are ... (fill in the blanks: an evil white supremacist, nationalist, chauvinistic, masagonistic, homophobic, race hater....)

The result is that a Man of color, a drug addict, hiding behind and holding heavily pregnant woman at knife point while robbing a convenient store is not a thug, he is a celebrated national hero, a victim of everyone who is not suffering like him.
But an old WHITE veteran beaten to death by "morally superior" BLM/ANTIFA members (living in their moms basement at 32yr) is an evil white supremacist, nationalist, chauvinistic, masagonistic, homophobic, race hater who deserves to have his skull kicked open on the sidewalk for the crime of picking up his wife's medication.

Interestingly no one complains that the ASIANS over achieve and out preform EVERYONE ELSE.
