The Thunderbolt was a twelve page nationalist tabloid newspaper published by Edward Fields and associated with the National States Rights Party (NSRP). The first NSRP issue appeared in July 1958 with four pages. The paper previously appeared in August 1946 as the publication of the Atlanta-based group The Columbians.

During 1962 it received the subscription lists of "Parson Jack" Johnston's weekly Georgia Tribune, William Stephenson's defunct The Virginian, James K. Warner's "Action" and in 1963 H. G. Jones's The Rebel (publication) and Dewey Taft's The American Digest. By the end of 1963, The Thunderbolt had a circulation of 30,000.

In 1988 the paper was replaced with the publication The Truth At Last with Fields continuing as editor.
