"Were he alive today, Joseph Tommasi may well be recognized as one of the three most important American National Socialists of the postwar era, in the company of George Lincoln Rockwell and William Pierce. Tommasi was only 24 when he died at the hands of Jerry Jones, a young and very frightened follower of the National Socialist White People's Party, in front of NSWPP headquarters in El Monte, California, in August 1975. Had he lived, there is a chance—albeit a small one—that the history of the National Socialist movement in America would have been different."
