St. George, Maximilian J.; Dennis, Lawrence
Published by National Civil Rights Committee, 1946
Hardcover in good condition with clipped DJ, light wear from age.
A provocative analysis of the 2nd World War’s most sensational domestic political trial and an exposure of the sinister anti-libertarian, internationalist forces behind it. This book is about the Mass Sedition Trial of 1944, one of the worst fiascos in the annals of American jurisprudence. It is not about the defendants, their views or their activities. It explains the Trial.
In a bid for votes and support for political and minority pressure groups the people behind the Trial and the Roosevelt administration wanted a mass propaganda Trial “a la Moscow” against a selected number of persons whose political ideas they wished to suppress. The big idea was to identify in the public mind Nazism and the Nazi regime with native American isolationism, with opposition to American entry into the war and with attacks on the internationalist policies which got America into two world wars in twenty-three years.
