Hate on Trial: The Case Against America's Most Dangerous Neo-Nazi is a book by Morris Dees and Steve Fiffer recounting the civil trial of Berhanu v. Metzger in which the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League sued Tom Metzger and White Aryan Resistance.[1][2]

The SPLC and ADL successfully argued that Meztger's organization was civilly liable for the murder of Mulugeta Seraw receiving a $12.5 million judgement.[3]

According to the New York Times book review, "the descriptions of the people involved are well wrought, and a moral quest fuels this book with driving power."[4]
