Customer Reviews

Excellent research and clarifies the far right's delusions

This book is very understandable. It draws a direct connect between the fascist ideology and today's radical right. I recommend this book so people can understand just how dangerous the far right is in the U.S.A.

Details Nazi & fascist penetration of American politics

At the end of World War II, the U.S. government secretly brought many Nazis into the U.S. As detailed in "Quiet Neighbors" and other books examining the U.S. government's program for infiltrating Nazis into the U.S., these Nazis quietly integrated themselves into the American socio-political system. Bellant examines the penetration by Nazis and fascists of the American political system, focusing specifically on how Nazis and fascists have gained influence and leadership positions in the Republican Party. While the book needs to be revised and updated, it is excellent in presenting the underlying foundation of the Reagan and Bush presidencies. Valuable reading for anyone seeking to understand the agenda of the Republican right.
