Alan Berg
Alan Harrison Berg (January 1, 1934 – June 18, 1984) was an American attorney and talk radio show host in Denver, Colorado. Berg was notable for his largely liberal, outspoken viewpoints and confrontational interview style.
On the evening of June 18, 1984, Berg was fatally shot in the driveway of his Denver home by members of the white nationalist group The Order who targeted him for being Jewish. He died immediately. Ultimately, two members of The Order, David Lane and Bruce Pierce, were convicted for their involvement in the case, though neither of homicide.
Alan Berg's life and death were chronicled in the book, ''Talked to Death: The Life and Murder of Alan Berg'' by Stephen Singular. The book was an inspiration for the films ''Betrayed'' and ''Talk Radio''.
==Early life==
Alan Berg was a native of Chicago, Illinois. His family was Jewish.〔 He attended the University of Colorado Denver before transferring to the University of Denver.〔(Biography ). Internet Movie Database.〕 At age 22, Berg was one of the youngest people to pass the Illinois state bar examination and he went into practice in Chicago. However, he began to experience neuromuscular seizures and he had become an alcoholic.〔 His then-wife, Judith Lee Berg (''née'' Halpern), convinced him to quit his practice to seek help. They moved to Denver, her hometown, and he entered rehabilitation voluntarily. Although he completed his treatment, he continued to be plagued by seizures. He was ultimately diagnosed with a brain tumor. After it was surgically removed, he made a full recovery.〔 For the rest of his life, Alan Berg wore a long fringe to hide the surgical scars.
