{"product_id":"swastika-nation-fritz-kuhn-and-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-german-american-bund","title":"Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund","description":"In the late 1930s, the German–American Bund, led by its popinjay dictator Fritz Kuhn, was a small but powerful national movement in pre-World War II America, determined to conquer the United States government with a fascist dictatorship. They met in private social halls and beer garden backrooms, gathered at private resorts and public rallies, developed their own version of the SS and Hitler Youth, published a national newspaper and―for a brief moment of their own imagined glory―seemed poised to make an impact on American politics.\nBut while the American Nazi leadership dreamed of their Swastika Nation, an amalgamation of politicians, a rising legal star, an ego-charged newspaper columnist, and denizens of the criminal underworld utilized their respective means and muscle to bring down the movement and its dreams of a United Reich States.\nSwastika Nation by Arnie Bernstein is a story of bad guys, good guys, and a few guys who fell somewhere in-between. The rise and fall of Fritz Kuhn and his German-American Bund at the hands of these disparate fighters is a sometimes funny, sometimes harrowing, and always compelling story from start to finish.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250006716\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1250006716.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bernstein, Arnie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
