Beyond Charlottesville: Taking a Stand Against White Nationalism
Terry McAuliffe was governor of Virginia when white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups marched through Charlottesville in August 2017, a weekend that ended with the killing of Heather Heyer. In this book, he gives his own account of the days leading up to the rally, the choices state and local officials made, and the chaotic federal response. He also describes meeting with victims and clergy in the aftermath and what he sees as the broader threat posed by organized white nationalism in American life. The book mixes political memoir with policy argument and is shaped by McAuliffe's perspective as a Democratic governor with a long record in national party politics. It is one of several first hand accounts published in the years after the attack.
