I'm in a law class right now and in one of our readings, the United States of America v. Timothy McVeigh case is brought up. In this case, McVeigh made a giant fertilizer bomb and destroyed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. In the reading though, it highlighted that he got his inspiration from the book The Turner Diaries, which is a fictional story containing a bombing against the federal government as well.
A quick google search of the publisher National Vanguard Books shows that they published similarly disturbing subject matter. How does a publishing house that specializes in that sort of material even make ends meet? Do they sell books through the sheer craziness of their books? And not only do the authors have to be somewhat odd, but the editors who work with them to bring those books into print must be similarly deranged too. The case reading also mentioned a book called Home-made C4, but I'm definitely not searching that on google.
