She spent ten years researching and writing her first book, Bring the War Home, which explores how white power activists created a social movement through a common story about betrayal by the government, war, and its weapons, uniforms, and technologies. Belew has appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, AC 360 with Anderson Cooper, Frontline, Fresh Air, and All Things Considered, among others. Her research has featured prominently in documentaries such as Homegrown Hate: The War Among Us (ABC) and Documenting Hate: New American Nazis (Frontline).
