Focusing on the historical struggle for American democracy, the book highlights the efforts of dedicated public servants and courageous citizens during World War II who resisted far-right conspirators aiming to align the nation with the Nazis. Drawing from research for the acclaimed podcast Ultra, it explores the persistent rise of a radical authoritarianism on the far-right that has influenced American politics for nearly a century. Rachel Maddow provides a compelling narrative that connects past and present threats to democratic values.
