"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.

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. [The jury divided the judgement against the defendants as follows: Kyle Brewster, $500,000; Ken Mieske, $500,000;, John Metzger, $1 million; WAR, $3 million; Tom Metzger, $5 million; in addition, the jury awarded $2.5 million for Mulugeta's unrealized future earnings and pain and suffering.] [cite news | url=http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30613FD34540C758EDDA90994D8494D81 | title=Sending a $12.5 Million Message to a Hate Group | publisher=New York Times |date=October 26, 1990 | first= | last= | accessdate = 2007-09-18]
