FACTS AND FASCISM by George Seldes ( hc 1943)

Description: This book names the most powerful forces in Europe which organized the Fascist & Nazi parties; movement, the powerful American forces which own, control &; subsidize native Fascism, &; the spokesmen, radio orators, writers &; other agents of reaction in America." Facts &; Fascism is a definitive account &; source book on Fascism in the USA after WWI &; on into the 2nd. Every subsequent work on this topic owes a great debt to this original research. By crusading investigative journalist Seldes, the book is in three 1/The Big Money &; Big Profits in Fascism, 2/Native Fascist Forces &; 3/Our Press as a Fascist Force. The 1st part reveals the backing of USA &; UK big business behind the rise of Fascism &; militarism, with chapters on Germany, Italy, Japan &; Spain, the Nazi cartels &; the Nat'l Association of Manufacturers. Seldes was a reporter in Italy in the early 20's as Fascism got its start &; wrote a full-length, critical portrait of Mussolini. In "Native Fascist Forces," he 1st tells the story of the botched putsch by J.P. Morgan &; the American Legion against FDR in 1934-one of the most hushed-up episodes in history. Next he dissects Ford's support for Nazism &; its repressive, even murderous labor practices, &; Nazi apologists like Lindbergh, Father Coughlin &; Reader's Digest. The 3rd part explores &; deplores acts of treason by war-profiteering heavy industry &; by 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 &; white servitude-that is, with attacks on labor &; social justice. The last chapter discusses profiteering from a different form of tobacco addiction. Among the appendices is one on the definition of Fascism &; data on the 13 plutocratic families who own America.
