Title: Worth reading in these times
Review: George Seldes is all but forgotten today, but was the I.F. Stone of the early part of the 20th century. His fear was of an American Fascism rather than a Communist state. The first third of this book is an examination of American organizations and movements that he perceived as a threat to American democracy, and a thorough examination of the little known coup plot against Roosevelt and the resulting Congressional investigation by an early HUAC. Read about it inThe Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR.A very interesting take on the origins of today's political crises. Buy a copy while still in print and read a few chapters with the benefit of hindsight.
