WHITE HOT HATE
In the spring of 2016, as immigration debates rocked the
United States, three men in a militia group known as the Crusaders grew aggravated over one Kansas town’s growing Somali community. They decided that complaining about their new neighbors and threatening them directly wasn’t enough.
The men plotted to bomb a mosque, aiming to kill hundreds and inspire other attacks against Muslims in America. But they would wait until after the Presidential Election so that their actions wouldn’t hurt Donald
Trump’s chances of winning.
An FBI informant befriended the three men,
acting as law enforcement’s eyes and ears for eight months. His secretly taped conversations with the militia were pivotal in obstructing their plans and
were a linchpin in the resulting trial and convictions for conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.
White Hot Hate, written by Dick Lehr, tells the riveting true story of an averted case of domestic terrorism in one of the most remote towns in the U.S., not far
from the infamous town where Capote’s In Cold Blood was set. In the gripping details of this
foiled scheme, the chilling, immediate threat of domestic terrorism—and racist anxiety in America— is writ large.
