"Investigative reporter Jean Guerrero deftly uncovers how Stephen Miller--as a privileged California teenager desperate for attention and power--immersed himself in right-wing dark arts, attracting a motley crew of white supremacists and extremists eager to cultivate the precocious boy's interests. Under their tutelage, Miller developed a talent for twisting progressive rhetoric to his will--a skill the Trump administration has used to shape its most sadistic policies. Hatemonger is a must-read for those who want to understand how small minds steeped in extremist methods have amassed great power in the 21st century. A superbly reported and haunting American tragedy." -- Rachel Slade, author of the national bestseller Into the Raging Sea

"In Hatemonger, Jean Guerrero doesn't just catalogue Stephen Miller's scorched-earth campaign to relentlessly vilify and abuse migrants from the nucleus of American politics--she also shines a light on the casual radicalization of a life-long troll and his gleeful ascendance to the halls of power, revealing the insidious inner workings of modern-day white supremacy. A vital book for understanding the still-unfolding nightmare of nationalism and racism in the 21st century." -- Francisco Cantu, author of The Line Becomes a River

"In her new book, Hatemonger, journalist Jean Guerrero provides a full portrait of this Nosferatu of the West Wing....The title 'Hatemonger' might seem sensational or overdramatic, but it is clinically precise. Miller acquires, packages, commercializes, and touts hatred as surely as a fishmonger peddles haddock and cod. Jean Guerrero has the emails." -- The Bulwark
