"Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead, the Frank Meeink Story" as told to Jody M. Roy, Ph.D. with an introduction by Elizabeth Wurtzel, Author of "Prozac Nation."

Paperback, Very Good Condition

"Meet Frank Meeink- he knows the truth."
- Elizabeth Wurtzel, from the introduction.

The raw story of Frank Meeink's descent into America's Neo-Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over hatred and addiction makes "Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead" a powerful read.

Frank's violent childhood in South Philadelphia primed him to hate. By sixteen, he was one of the most notorious skinhead gang leaders on the East Coast, and by eighteen he was doing time in an Illinois prison.

Frank questioned his violent, racist ways behind bars when forced to live in close quarters with those he had once despised and after his parole, he defected from the white supremacy movement. The Oklahoma City bombing motivated him to fight the hatred he'd once felt. He began speaking for the Anti-Defamation League, started the organization Harmony through Hockey, and appears on national networks in his effort against hate. He continues to fight the demons of hatred and addiction by sharing the story of his downfall and ultimate redemption.

In recent years, Frank Meeink has worked in a support position for professional hockey teams. He has been on the national lecture circuit for nearly a decade, speaking to various groups on the topic of racial diversity and acceptance. This is his first book.

"Required reading for anyone who wants to understand the origin of race hatred in these United States of America. 'Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead'...is testament to a great heart, to a man willing to own up to his own violent past and, ultimately, shine a light of hope on this sick, pigment-fixated, demented nation we inhabit. I loved this book.
- Jerry Stahl, author of "Pain Killers" and "Permanent Midnight."
Questions & Comments

I can't recommend this book any higher, it is an AMAZING story, I only wish I had more copies of the book to share with more people.

I would like to request that the winner of this auction please pass this book on once you have read it, instead of letting it collect dust in some box. This is a story that should be read by as many people as possible.

Good luck everyone!

It is an excellent book, I don't know if you ever saw his story on the Discovery Channel, but as I said earlier, I can't recommend this book any higher. It is definitely worth your time.

Good Luck!!
