National Alliance (United States)

Uncommon card · No. 121339

The National Alliance is a white supremacist, neo-Nazi political organization founded by William Luther Pierce in 1974 and based in Mill Point, West Virginia. It was formed out of a split in the National Youth Alliance, an organization run by Pierce and Willis Carto. The National Alliance had several business ventures, including the record label Resistance Records, a book publisher, and several periodicals. It was the largest and most significant neo-Nazi group of its time. Membership in 2002 was estimated at 2,500 with an annual income of $1 million. Membership declined after Pierce's death in 2002; Pierce was succeeded as leader of the National Alliance by Erich Gliebe. After a split in its ranks in 2005 and several power struggles, it lost most of its members and has greatly declined in influence.
