Nazis of Long Island (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In Yaphank, New York, hid the greatest threat to the United States war effort during World War II: the American Nazi. Building on racial and ethnic biases, lack of trust in government, and a dose of conspiracies, the German American Bund was able to contribute to a growing American fascist movement. Fueled partially by Nazi Germany's financing of propaganda, thousands of New Yorkers embraced the ideals of an American Reich through retreats such as Yaphank's Camp Siegfried that groomed Nazi sympathizers to be ready for the fascist overthrow of the American Republic. In opposition to Nazism, multiple local citizen groups fought to combat the Bund's organized efforts to undermine America. Author Christopher Verga brings to life the often-overlooked history of New York's World War II era through a story of Nazi sedition, espionage, and citizen resistance to preserve the American Republic.
