In 1997, Stuart's publishing house Barricade Books reissued "The Turner Diaries," a novel thought to have been the inspiration behind Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Murrah building. He was a strong advocate of freedom of the press, and believed it was important for people to be able to read and make up their own minds. (In the introduction he wrote to his reissue of "The Turner Diaries," he made clear how strongly he opposed the viewpoint expressed in the book.)
