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.[1]

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."[2]
