So Far, in Prequel

What I have learned, so far:
  • The LAPD and the LASD were pro-Nazi.
  • Naval Intelligence was not and did what they could about Nazi efforts in the US
  • J.Edgar Hoover and the FBI willingly closed their eyes to the American Fascist/Nazi movement and their plots for staging a violent coup.
Prequel, by Rachel Maddow

I already knew that if Henry Ford and Charles Lindberg were not outright Nazis, they were Nazi-adjacent, and why nobody in my parents' generation of the family drove a Ford.

I'm not, but the book is about the American Fascist movement.

The DoJ wasn't exactly pro-fascist, but they weren't anti-, either. They were instrumental in keeping a lid on things and succeeded until about 1960; by then, nobody cared anymore.

As a prelude and good read Fascism-Warning-Madeleine-Albright
as that a more critical view and analysis of what facism is.

It was published in 2018 and the last chapter was about
"the future" and what was seen likely pre election 2016.

I've been debating getting this.
Does Rachel Maddow write like she talks?
If so, I might never get to the end of the book....
