When we wonder about the how and why of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, White Hot Hate begins to provide an explanation. It is riveting and revelatory. --Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist White Hot Hate is a well-written, deeply reported account of how a group of right-wing extremists living in Kansas came together to plot terrorist attacks, and it couldn't be more timely now. --Peter Bergen, author of The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden White Hot Hate is both a fascinating primer on radicalization and a page-turning, cinematic legal thriller. Encouraged by a white supremacist presidential candidate fomenting fear of immigrant 'infestation, ' a small group of extremists plots an attack that would have caused more death and destruction than the horrific 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. A single witness to their plot manages to stop it, saving hundreds of lives and serving as a model of moral courage. The story teaches us about the potential power of a single, valiant voice. --Jessica Stern, author of Terror in the Name of God and member of the Homeland Security Experts Group Lehr is a seasoned journalist whose distinguished career includes crisply probed accounts of organized crime bosses and police brutality coverups. In this report, his lucid investigative prowess once again creates a dramatic tapestry of hate, hope, and justice. He also offers a cautionary reminder about the pervasive presence of political extremism in America. --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Pulitzer finalist Lehr delivers a dramatic chronicle of a domestic terrorist plot thwarted by the FBI.... The result is a chilling and finely wrought portrait of the threat of political extremism. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review White Hot Hate is a well-written, deeply reported account of how a group of right-wing extremists living in Kansas came together to plot terrorist attacks, and it couldn't be more timely now. -- Peter Bergen, author of The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden
