Summary of Prequel By Rachel Maddow : An American Fight Against Fascism

IN THIS SUMMARIZED BOOK, YOU WILL GET:

Rachel Maddow's book, Ultra, explores the rise of American authoritarianism, tracing its roots back to World War II. A clandestine network aimed to undermine democratic institutions, promote antisemitism, and destroy citizens' confidence in elected leaders. This campaign, supported by an ultra-right paramilitary movement, worked alongside a sophisticated campaign to overthrow the U.S. government. Despite the U.S. Department of Justice's frontal attack in 1941, the scheme involved influential elected officials, bending the rule of law under political intimidation. The failure of the legal system has had lasting consequences, but the heroic efforts of activists, journalists, prosecutors, and citizens make the story relevant in our current political climate.
