Professor Robert S. Griffin appeared on white nationalist radar in 2000 when his book The Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds: An Up-Close Portrait of White Nationalist William Pierce was published.
Fame was excellent. Comprehensive, insightful, a great read. But what made it a unique contribution to literature on white nationalism was its unprecedented lack of bias. One of the most villified men in America, Pierce was presented to the mainstream public often, but always buried beneath hysterical shrieks or dire warnings. There were as many versions of Pierce as there were writers in need of a springboard for lazy moralizing. Griffin's Fame, on the other hand, sought to reveal the thing itself, the man around whom there was so much ideological clutter and interpretive dance.
Griffin engaged a Pierce's pro-white perspective with an open mind and present it objectively, fairly, instead of forcing new details into the same old semitically correct, pre-templated hit piece.

Though not a white nationalist himself, Griffin earned the respect of the white community for having the courage to engage a pro-white perspective with an open mind and present it objectively, fairly, instead of forcing new details into the same old semitically correct, pre-templated hit piece.
One Sheaf, One Vine is Robert Griffin's highly anticipated follow up to The Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds, his insightful, in-depth and uniquely unbiased "up-close portrait" of William Pierce, who was, until his death in 2002, America's leading white nationalist.

He is a danger that rivals that of the Jew himself, although for different reasons. Granted, the Jew is by far the greater overall danger in manipulating and destroying the White Race. He could, however, never completely destroy the White Race without the help of the nigger." Ben Klassen, Nature's Eternal Religion. Milwaukee: Church of the Creator Press, 1992, p.42. |
