Description

A gripping narrative that explores America's fight against fascism during World War II. Rachel Maddow delves into the story of a clandestine network that spread disinformation, promoted antisemitism and undermined democratic institutions in a bid to overthrow the US government. The author charts the rise of a far-right strain of authoritarianism that has been present on the fringes of American politics for decades. This campaign was sophisticated and well-funded, with the ultimate goal of installing authoritarian rule. At the same time, a handful of activists and journalists were tracking the scheme, exposing it as it unfolded. The US Department of Justice eventually made a frontal attack, identifying key plotters, finding their backers and prosecuting dozens in federal court. However, none of these efforts went as planned.
