Hate is My Neighbor by Bill Wassmuth and Tom Alibrandi is a nonfiction book that showed me that bigots have been out there for a long time, even in my own backyard. The Book took place in Coeur D'alene Idaho, a town about 7 hours from Boise. It gave us an in depth look on how the Aryan Nations harassed the people of the small town in the 1970’s.
