''Hunter'' is a 1989 novel written by William Luther Pierce, the founder and chairman of the National Alliance, a white nationalist group, under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald. Pierce also used this pseudonym to write the better-known ''The Turner Diaries'', a 1978 novel with similar themes. Some consider ''Hunter'' a prequel to the ''Turner Diaries'', detailing the rise of the racist paramilitary group termed 'The Organization', which would play a dominant role in the book. ''Hunter'' portrays the actions of Oscar Yeager (anglicization of ''Jäger'', German for ''hunter''), a Vietnam veteran F-4 Phantom pilot and Washington, D.C.-area Defense Department consultant who embarks on a plan to assassinate interracial couples and public figures advocating civil rights in the D.C. area. Yeager's crimes quickly lead to broad national repercussions and draw him into the plans of both a white nationalist group and an ambitious FBI official to take advantage of the turmoil he has helped to start. ''Hunter'' shares with ''The Turner Diaries'' Pierce's depiction of the United States as overrun by liberalism and covertly dominated by Jews. His depictions of and attitudes of the protagonists towards Jews, African-Americans, Latinos, and Asians mirror Pierce's and the National Alliance's ideology. ''Hunter'' reveals this ideology more didactically and directly than did ''The Turner Diaries''. At the novel's beginning, the protagonist is a nonideological racist unattached to antisemitism. He gradually develops his ideology and perspectives during his campaign and through contact with the allies that he meets. Much of the story's dialogue consists of discussion and debate on the "Jewish question." Federal agents found a copy of the book while searching the residence of Terry Nichols after the Oklahoma City bombing. ==Pierce's rationale == In contrast to ''The Turner Diaries'', Pierce decided to write a "more realistic novel, ''Hunter'', which shifted away from the idea of an organized group to what an exceptional individual can do. ''Hunter'' "serves a real educational process"〔''Gardell'' 2003, p. 360.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hunter (Pierce novel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
