Prequel

An American Fight Against Fascism

Book • 2023

In 'Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism,' Rachel Maddow explores the clandestine network that flooded the U.S.

with disinformation aimed at undermining the war effort and promoting antisemitism and authoritarian rule during World War II. The book details the sophisticated and well-funded campaign to destroy citizens' confidence in their elected leaders and the heroic efforts of activists, journalists, and prosecutors who exposed and countered this plot.

Maddow draws parallels between these historical events and the present day, emphasizing the recurring tactics of fascist and authoritarian movements.
