Imagine this: a global cabal of the world’s richest oligarchs holding a feeble president hostage, forcing him to do their bidding and install a fascist military dictatorship.
Bah. Couldn’t happen here, you’d say.
But it almost did happen here in 1933, and could happen again.
In fact, some elements of the plot may ring a familiar bell in the year 2025.
This is a historical true story about the fascist conspiracy to control FDR and overthrow the American government (by force of arms if necessary).
Over the coming weeks we will be reading and discussing Jules Archer’s 1973 classic, “The Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR“ in my history book club.
I hope you’ll join us every Sunday in October, 6:30 PM Eastern for the live reading and chat on my YouTube channel.
Buy a copy of this book and read along with me.
