NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Rachel Maddow tempts readers with a sensational tale of the fight to preserve American democracy tracing back to World War II when courageous patriots thwarted far-right plotters attempting to align our nation with the Nazis. A gripping read, as hailed by The New York Times themselves, exposing the chilling parallels to today’s political climate. Inspired by her popular podcast, Maddow’s work showcases the rise of an authoritarian ideology lurking on the fringes of American politics for nearly a century. This wild American strain aimed to undermine our nation’s democratic values and establish a tyrannical rule, supported by a nefarious paramilitary movement bent on mass violence and insurrection. Despite the heroic efforts of activists and journalists to expose these insidious forces, the plot, involving influential elected officials, seeped into the fabric of American history with lasting consequences. Maddow’s vivid account sheds light on a forgotten battle against fascism, enthralling readers with tales of resilience and resistance in the face of real threats to our nation’s democracy.
