Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism – Rachel Maddow (audio – read by Maddow)

Book Reviews 1 Minute

Rachel Maddow reads Prequel to us, this wonderfully told tale of prominent American fascists from post WW1 through WW2, whose movements led to seditious acts, high level cover ups and friendly relations with and funding from Hitler. I always enjoy Maddow on her show but now I plan to go back and buy her other books. This reads like a fabulous piece of fiction while being painstakingly researched. As always, with Maddow, it is a cautionary, revelatory piece of work. Just. Delightful. (and scary. did I say scary?)

I have been an avid reader since Dick and Jane met Sally. At age 7, I read my parents' first edition of "To Kill a Mockingbird." I am a retired lawyer and so read almost only fiction for pleasure. I'm adding in nonfiction these days, largely on social justice matters but also history, biography, and weird topics that catch my imagination. I used to read only serially, one book at a time. Presently, I read paperbacks, hardcovers, listen to audible, listen to CDs and read online through Net Galley. Covid-19 has caused me to read a lot so I have re-upped my Goodreads challenge for 2021 and am starting to review at least my favorite finds annd, perhaps, some stinkers.
