Andrew MacDonald - The Turner Diaries (audiobook)

Andrew MacDonald, «The Turner Diaries»
Publisher: National Vanguard Books (1999) | ISBN-10: 0937944122 | English | MP3 (128 kb/s) | 552 Mb

This is the book which the FBI and the controlled media have been claiming hysterically is the "blueprint" for everything from the Oklahoma City bombing to the takeo- ver of the U.S. government by "White extremists." It is the "Bible" of the "racist right," they say. Certainly, it has received more media attention than any other book in print and is the book most hated and feared by the gun-control crowd. The Turner Diaries is the book proponents of "multiculturalism" and the New World Order have tried desperately to ban from booksto- res, so that ordinary Americans won't be able to read it. Too many things predicted in the book have been coming true, they believe, and they're afraid that if more people read the book the rest of it also may come true. Actually, says the author, the book is merely a vehicle, in the form on an exciting novel about urban guerilla warfare and revolution, for his ideas about race and society. You'll have to read it for yourself to see who's right.
