Behold a Pale Horse is a book written by conspiracy theorist William Cooper in 1991. The book was purportedly a manifesto for the militia movement at around the time that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were tried for mass murder in the Oklahoma City bombing. It is still popular among the credulous, who will regularly pay $200 to $300 on Ebay for an unsigned/unremarkable copy even though it is widely available at public libraries, can be bought cheaply, and be downloaded free from the Internet Archive. Subsequent editions of the book deleted the antisemitic Chapter 15 possibly because Cooper's heir(s) and/or publisher were too embarrassed to keep publishing it but still wanted to own a cash cow. The missing chapter apparently makes the earlier edition more valuable for kooks and antisemites.
