SUMMARY:Author's Corner: Swastika Nation
DESCRIPTION:FREE EVENT\n\n\nSwastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and\nThe Rise and Fall of The German-American Bund\nSwastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund chronicles a pro-Nazi movement that swept the United States in the 1930s. However\, their dream of America under a swastika flag and ruled by their leader Bundesführer Fritz Kuhn\, attracted powerful foes. \n​Through the independent work of many larger than life figures–including the duo of New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and prosecutor Thomas Dewey\, the newly-formed Congressional House Committee on Un-American Activities\, the bulldog reporting of newspaper columnist Walter Winchell\, and the distinctive methods employed by Jewish mobsters Meyer Lansky\, Longy Zwillman\, Bugsy Siegel\, and Mickey Cohen–Kuhn and the German-American Bund came to an inglorious end. \n​All this\, plus a supporting cast that includes Henry Ford\, Walt Disney\, Jack Ruby\, Edward G. Robinson\, and many others. It’s a book that’s jam packed with incredible tales\, a wild slice of American history you won’t be able to put down. \n\n\nPlease register by Thursday\, April 9
