Andrew MacDonald,
The Turner Diaries
(Hillsboro, WV: National Vanguard Books, 1978). There is a consensus among serious scholars that Pierce uses “Andrew MacDonald” as an alias. He used the same alias with the novel
Hunter
in 1989. The two books reinforce the same basic message (white power and supremacy). From this point forward, I list Pierce as the author of
The Turner Diaries.

Eugene Gallagher, “Catastrophic Millennialism,” in
The Oxford Handbook of Millennialism,
ed. Catherine Wessinger (London: Oxford University Press, 2011), 27. Gallagher proposes that Timothy McVeigh believed in “catastrophic millennialism.” Paraphrasing Wessinger, he explains that this “pessimistic view of society, history, and human beings anticipates the imminent, violent destruction of the world as we know it; but it also envisages that God will then act, with or without human assistance, to accomplish a total renovation of the world.” It is hard to imagine a more apt description of Christian Identity eschatology.
