From the author of Pulitzer Prize finalist Hitler in Los Angeles, the definitive story of the intrepid activists and spies who fought against a resurgent movement of hate in Americaa book that ”should be read by every American who wants to know how courageous men and women can resist hatred.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
Americans today like to believe that the end of World War II brought a new era of tolerance in the United States. But antisemitism and racism went upnot downafter the wars end. Violence broke out in cities across the country, and the number of organized hate groups more than doubled from 1940 to 1946. In this shocking account of a resurgence of White Supremacy in America, celebrated historian Steven J. Ross reveals how four key leadersEmory Burke, J. B. Stoner, James Madole, and George Lincoln Rockwellworked together to finish the job Hitler had begun, launching deadly attacks on Jews and African Americans and building a network of terrorists across the U.S. In response to this war of hate, three menArnold Forster of the Anti-­Defamation League, George Mintzer of the American Jewish Committee, and James Sheldon of the Non-­Sectarian Anti­-Nazi Leaguealong with dozens of men and women, launched a multipronged effort: They infiltrated, monitored, and undermined these hate groups, putting their own safety on the line and scoring important victories that, today, have been all but forgotten.
Tracing the extraordinary work of these unsung heroes, The Secret War Against Hate provides a groundbreaking reconsideration of the legacy of the Good War, and essential reading on how America today can beat hate once again and build a just and united nation.
