Inhalt:
"William Dudley Pelley was one of the most important figures of the anti-Semitic radical right in the twentieth century. Best remembered as the leader of the paramilitary Silver Shirts, Pelley was also an award-winning short story writer, Hollywood screenwriter, and religious leader. During the Depression Pelley was a notorious presence in American politics. He ran for president on a platform calling for the ghettoization of American Jews and in 1942 was a defendant in a headline-grabbing sedition trial thanks to his unwavering support of Nazi Germany
Inhalt:
"Scott Beekman offers not only a political but also an intellectual and literary biography of Pelly, greatly advancing our understanding of a figure often dismissed as a madman or charlatan. His belief system, composed of anti-Semitism, economic nostrums, racialism, neo-Theosophical channeling, and millenarian Christianity, anticipates the eclecticism of later cult personalities such as Shoko Asahara, leader of Aum Shinriyko, and the British conspiracy theorist David Icke
Inhalt:
"By charting the course of Pelley's career, Beekman does an admirable job of placing Pelley within the history of both the anti-Semitic right and American occult movements. This exhaustively researched book is a welcome addition to the growing body of scholarship on American extremism and esoteric religions."--BOOK JACKET
