Summary

The rise of fascism in America in the 1920s & 30s looked just like the rise of fascism in Germany at the same time- scapegoating, the dissemination of false information, the attempted erosion of democracy… Dan is joined by Rachel Maddow, host of the chart-topping Ultra podcast and The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC to explore how Nazism infiltrated the highest political offices in the US government, but also the unsung American heroes who risked everything to stop it.

Rachel's latest book is Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism.

Produced by Charlotte Long, Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore
