I own many of the original hard-copy back issues of National Vanguard, including the one containing the Kipling article, which is unsigned.

However, the author is almost certainly (near-100%) William Pierce. He has a certain recognizable spare style of writing. More importantly, he was very prolific–his later ADV broadcasts alone averaged 3,000 words a week, and they were far from constituting his overall administrative workload, or even all of the writing he did simultaneously.

Kevin Strom worked closely with Pierce for two decades. It was he who set up the American Dissident Voices broadcasting studio and throughout the 1990s was the original host of the show. In those pre-Internet days I listened to it over shortwave radio.

Kevin also put together the (in my view) classic book The Best of Attack! and National Vanguard Tabloid, 1970-1982 (1984), a large collection of articles from the two early tabloid publications.

Like the later magazine articles, most of the articles in the book are unsigned, a few are signed William Pierce, and a few “W.L.P.” (Pierce’s initials). A small number were written by other authors. For example, Theodore O’Keefe’s articles are signed “T. O’K.”

I once asked Kevin who wrote the unsigned articles. He replied that Pierce was essentially, by necessity, a one-man show, and wrote virtually all of the articles himself–even some using pseudonyms.

I have no doubt that William Pierce wrote the Kipling article.
