Hate (book)

Hate: George Lincoln Rockwell and the American Nazi Party is a book about the neo-Nazi political activist George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder and leader of the 1960s American Nazi Party. It was written by William H. Schmaltz, then a lecturer and scholar on hate groups. Hate was published by Brassey's in Washington, D.C., in June 1999 and republished as a paperback the next year. In 2013, it was republished in a revised edition by River's Bend Press as For Race And Nation: George Lincoln Rockwell and the American Nazi Party.

After giving a biographical introduction on Rockwell's early life and political history, the book focuses on a year-by-year treatment of Rockwell's political history from his public exposure as a white supremacist in 1958 to his assassination in 1967. Schmaltz emphasizes Rockwell's legacy among white racists, particularly in his Holocaust denial, coining of the term and ideology of white power, and combination of neo-Nazism with Christian Identity doctrine.

Hate received praise for its writing, research, and storytelling from several reviewers, and was recommended for background on Rockwell. Hate was also compared to American Fuehrer, another book on George Lincoln Rockwell and the American Nazi Party published the same year, by several reviewers. The two books were noted to have largely similar conclusions and work off similar sources, but differ in content.
