英文简介:
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Rachel Maddow traces the fight to preserve American democracy back to World War II, when a handful of committed public servants and brave private citizens thwarted far-right plotters trying to steer our nation toward an alliance with the Nazis.
“A ripping read–well rendered, fast-paced and delivered with the same punch and assurance that she brings to a broadcast.
.
.
.
The parallels to the present day are strong, even startling.
“–The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) Inspired by her research for the hit podcast Ultra, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the far-right edge of our politics for the better part of a century.
Before and even after our troops had begun fighting abroad in World War II, a clandestine network flooded the country with disinformation aimed at sapping the strength of the U.
S.
war effort and persuading Americans that our natural alliance was with the Axis, not against it.
It was a sophisticated and shockingly well-funded campaign to undermine democratic institutions, promote antisemitism, and destroy citizens’ confidence in their elected leaders, with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the U.
S.
government and installing authoritarian rule.
That effort worked–tongue and groove–alongside an ultra-right paramilitary movement that stockpiled bombs and weapons and trained for mass murder and violent insurrection.
At the same time, a handful of extraordinary activists and journalists were tracking the scheme, exposing it even as it was unfolding.
In 1941 the U.
S.
Department of Justice finally made a frontal attack, identifying the key plotters, finding their backers, and prosecuting dozens in federal court.
None of it went as planned.
While the scheme has been remembered in history–if at all–as the work of fringe players, in reality it involved a large number of some of the country’s most influential elected officials.
Their interference in law enforcement efforts against the plot is a dark story of the rule of law bending and then breaking under the weight of political intimidation.
That failure of the legal system had consequences.
The tentacles of that unslain beast have reached forward into our history for decades.
But the heroic efforts of the activists, journalists, prosecutors, and regular citizens who sought to expose the insurrectionists also make for a deeply resonant, deeply relevant tale in our own disquieting times.
中文简介:
《纽约时报》畅销书排名第一 * 雷切尔·玛多 (Rachel Maddow) 将维护美国民主的斗争追溯到第二次世界大战，当时少数忠诚的公务员和勇敢的普通公民挫败了试图引导我们的国家与纳粹结盟的极右翼密谋者。
“一本扣人心弦的读物——渲染得很好，节奏很快，并且以她在广播中带来的同样的冲击力和保证来表达……与当今的相似之处是强烈的，甚至令人震惊。
”——《纽约时报》（雷切尔·玛多 (Rachel Maddow) 受到热门播客 Ultra 的研究启发，描绘了美国狂野的威权主义的兴起，这种威权主义在我们政治的极右边缘已经存在了一个多世纪了。
在我们的军队在第二次世界大战中开始海外作战之前甚至之后，一个秘密网络向全国充斥着虚假信息，旨在削弱美国的战争力量，并说服美国人我们与轴心国自然结盟，而不是反对它。
这是一场复杂且资金充足的运动，旨在破坏民主制度、宣扬反犹太主义并摧毁公民对民选领导人的信心，最终目标是推翻美国政府并建立独裁统治。
这一努力与极右准军事运动一起发挥了作用，该运动储存炸弹和武器，并接受大规模谋杀和暴力叛乱的训练。
与此同时，一些非凡的活动家和记者正在跟踪该计划，甚至在其展开时就将其曝光。
1941年，美国司法部终于发起正面攻击，查明了关键策划者，找到了他们的支持者，并在联邦法院起诉了数十人。
一切都没有按计划进行。
虽然该计划在历史上被铭记（如果有的话），因为它是边缘参与者的工作，但实际上它涉及该国一些最有影响力的民选官员。
他们对执法行动的干涉是一个在政治恐吓的重压下法治弯曲然后崩溃的黑暗故事。
法律体系的失败产生了后果。
数十年来，这头未杀野兽的触角已经伸入我们的历史。
但那些试图揭露叛乱分子的活动人士、记者、检察官和普通公民的英勇努力，也在我们这个令人不安的时代创造了一个引起深刻共鸣、与我们密切相关的故事。
