This is one of the last video documentaries that Dr. William Pierce had made before his death in July of 2002.
William Luther Pierce III (September 11, 1933 to July 23, 2002) was born in Atlanta, Georgia to a Presbyterian family of Scotch-Irish and English descent, and was a descendant of Thomas H. Watts, the Governor of Alabama and Attorney General of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.
Pierce was academically successful. He graduated from high school in 1952, received a bachelor's degree in Physics from Rice University in 1955, earned a doctorate from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1962, and then became an assistant professor of physics at the Oregon State University.
In 1965 he left his tenure at Oregon State University and became a senior researcher for the aerospace manufacturer "Pratt & Whitney" in Connecticut. In 1966, Pierce moved to the Washington, D.C. area and became an associate of George Lincoln Rockwell, who was the founder of the American Nazi Party, and was assassinated in 1967. William Pierce became co-leader of the National Youth Alliance, which split in 1974, with Pierce founding the National Alliance.
Pierce spent the rest of his life living in Hillsboro, West Virginia. From this location, he hosted a weekly radio show, American Dissident Voices from 1991, an internal newsletter, the National Alliance Bulletin (formerly called Action) and oversaw his publications, National Vanguard magazine (originally titled Attack!), Free Speech and Resistance, as well as books published by his publishing firm National Vanguard Books, Inc.
For more than 30 years, he was one of the highest profile individuals of the White Nationalist movement. A physicist by profession, and was the author of the two (2) novels "The Turner Diaries" and "Hunter", which were written under the pseudonym of Andrew Macdonald.
In 1990, the documentary series Different Drummer produced a portrait of Pierce, which was aired on PBS. He later participated twice on a public-access television cable TV live talk show hosted by Ron Doggett, Race and Reality and aired from Richmond, Virginia.
Pierce was frequently described as a neo-Nazi, although he personally rejected this label. When challenged with the issue by Mike Wallace on the "60 minutes" show, Pierce described the term as a slander, and said:
"I admire many things that Hitler wrote, many of the programs and policies that he instituted in Germany, but we do not blindly copy anyone else's policies or programs. We've formulated our own program in view of the situation that we face here in America today."
In 1998, Pierce was a contributor to a documentary produced by the Discovery Channel about white nationalism in the United States. As the leader of the National Alliance, Pierce established contacts with other nationalist groups in Europe, including the National Democratic Party of Germany and the Greek Golden Dawn party.
Pierce's other recruiting efforts included a 51-minute informational video titled America is a Changing Country (!.the video above.!) and forming an anti-globalization group called "The Anti-Globalization Action Network" in order to protest at the G8 summit that would take place in Canada, in June of 2002.
Dr. Pierce's last public speech was made in Cleveland, Ohio on April 28, 2002, and on July 23, 2002, he died of renal failure, just three weeks after being diagnosed with cancer which had spread through his body.
At the time of Dr. Pierce's death in 2002, the National Alliance had about 1,500 members and a paid staff of about 15 full-time employees, but then (after his death) the organization unfortunately entered a period of internal conflict and decline.
