{"product_id":"9781250036445","title":"Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSwastika Nation\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132457238768,"sku":"9781250036445","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250036445_p0.jpg?v=1763701485","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250036445","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
