Believing himself to be on a "God-given mission," Joseph Paul
Franklin was the only racially motivated serial killer ever pursued
by the Justice Department. Mel Ayton examines his murderous life,
from his poverty-stricken youth in a backward Alabama suburb to his
indoctrination by militant Nazis and southern racists to his
eventual capture by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Ayton's
exhaustive report uncovers the truth behind Franklin's three-year
undertaking to murder Jews and African Americans. White supremacist
Franklin was, by his own admission, an outlaw, a racist, and weird.
As a neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klansman, he violently enforced his views
by embarking on a"lone hunter" mission to kill. He saw African
Americans and Jews as subhuman and knew no moral obstacle to racial
violence, invoking the Bible to support his criminal acts. As
Franklin's 1977-80 killing spree was contemporaneous with other
racially charged incidents that other Klansmen and neo-Nazis
wrought throughout the United States, his story also exposes how
hate organizations have made killers out of disaffected and bitter
young men. In this first full-length book about Franklin, Ayton
reveals a shocking and unsavory side of American society.
