This is not alternative historical fiction this is the true story of the German-American Bund. In the late 1930s, the Bund, led by Fritz Kuhn, was a small but powerful national movement, determined to conquer the U.S. government with a fascist dictatorship. However, the Bundist dream of a swastika nation attracted powerful foes. Many larger-than-life figures--including New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia the newly formed Congressional House Committee on Un-American Activities newspaper columnist Walter Winchell and Jewish mobsters Meyer Lansky and Mickey Cohen--brought Kuhn and the German-American Bund to an inglorious end.
