Not many Americans go from working for Presidents to monitoring White Supremacists and violent, neo-Nazi skinheads, but that's what happened to author Todd Blodgett. After serving on Ronald Reagan's White House staff, and President George H.W. Bush's successful presidential campaign, Blodgett took a wrong turn and found himself ensconced in the milieu of organized White Supremacy. Eventually, he - along with America's two leading Nazis, William L. Pierce, and Willis A. Carto - co-owned the world's largest, most profitable racist music corporation. His business dealings with these savvy, money-laundering Haters led to him being recruited by the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF); for nearly three years, he worked as a full-time, paid, professional FBI informant, assigned to monitor the HATE movement and its top echelon. But the FBI didn't know that their informant was a junkie, heavily addicted to crack cocaine.
