Skinhead Confessions: From Hate to Hope

TJ Leyden spent fifteen years as one of America's most dangerous Skinhead recruiters, fueling violence and hate from the streets of Southern California to the U.S. Marine Corps. But fatherhood cracked his armor. Watching his young sons absorb his poison, he made the harrowing choice to leave the Movement—forfeiting his identity and inviting death threats. Partnering with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, he became a tolerance educator. A raw, cautionary true story of how hatred is taught, and how it can be unlearned.

• A neo-Nazi recruiter who trained hundreds to hate—until his three-year-old son turned off the TV because a black man was on it.
• Foreword by actor Jason Alexander (Seinfeld's George Costanza).
• The insider's playbook: exactly how hate groups recruit and manipulate teenagers—told by the man who wrote the tactics.
• From the far side of hell: a man with a price on his head becomes one of America's leading voices for tolerance.

“No one, not one single soul, was ever born into this world filled with hatred for another soul or group of souls.”

Perfect for an adult reader interested in true stories of dramatic personal redemption, the inner workings of hate groups, and the power of tolerance—including LDS readers moved by the late-book conversion story.
