"This book names the most powerful forces in Europe which organized
the Fascist and Nazi parties and movement, the powerful American
forces which own, control and subsidize native Fascism, and the
spokesmen, radio orators, writers and other agents of reaction in
America." Facts and Fascism is the definitive account and source
book on Fascism in the United States after the First World War and
on into the Second. No doubt every subsequent work on this
explosive topic owes a great debt to this original research. By
crusading investigative journalist George Seldes, the book is in
three parts: 1) The Big Money and Big Profits in Fascism, 2) Native
Fascist Forces, and 3) Our Press as a Fascist Force. The first part
reveals the backing of U.S. and British big business behind the
rise of Fascism and militarism, with chapters on Germany, Italy,
Japan, and Spain, the Nazi cartels and the National Association of
Manufacturers. The author was a reporter in Italy in the early 20's
as Fascism got its start, and wrote a full-length, critical
portrait of Mussolini. In "Native Fascist Forces," Seldes first
tells the story of the botched putsch by J. P. Morgan and the
American Legion against FDR in 1934 - surely one of the most
hushed-up episodes in US history. Next Seldes dissects the Ford
empire's support for Nazism and its repressive, even murderous
labor practices, and Nazi apologists like Lindbergh, Father
Coughlin and the Reader's Digest. The third part explores and
deplores acts of treason by war-profiteering heavy industry and by
the major newspaper chains. He exposes their habit of faking news
for their political agenda, going back to the 1850's in support of
black slavery, and white servitude - that is, with attacks on labor
and social justice. The last chapter discusses profiteering from a
different form of slavery, the tobacco addiction. Among the
appendices is one on the definition of Fascism, and data on Who
Owns America - thirteen plutocratic families.
