In August 2017, violence burst forth in Charlottesville, Virginia,
during two days of demonstrations by a combination of white
supremacists, neo-Nazis, and counterprotest groups from the antifa
and Black Lives Matter. Originally motivated by the city's plans to
remove Confederate statues from two public parks, members of the
alt-right descended first on the University of Virginia and then,
disastrously, on the downtown area, ultimately leading to violent
clashes and the death of Heather Heyer, who was hit by a car driven
into a crowd by James Fields Jr. Summer of Hate is the
investigative journalist Hawes Spencer's unbiased, probing account
of August 11 and 12. Telling the story from the perspective of
figures from all sides of the demonstrations, Spencer, who reported
from Charlottesville for the New York Times, carefully re-creates
what happened and why. By focusing on individuals including
activists, city councillors, and law enforcement officials, Spencer
provides a full, objective, and dramatic narrative that weaves
together past and present as well as a way forward toward healing.
