The Silent Brotherhood: Inside America's Racist Underground is a 1989 book by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt about The Order, a neo-Nazi group led by Robert Jay Mathews, their crimes, and the resulting investigation. Both authors were journalists for the Denver newspaper Rocky Mountain News, and had started investigating the group in 1984, shortly after the Order's murder of the Jewish radio host Alan Berg. To research the book, the authors interviewed several members of the Order, law enforcement agents, and relatives and friends of those involved. It was first published in hardcover and paperback format in 1989 by The Free Press. The book was a commercial success.
