![]() ![]() Author: Maddow Rachel Publisher: Neri Pozza 'Partiamo dall'epilogo: il complotto di cui leggerete in queste pagine non è andato a buon fine. Il luogo: Stati Uniti. Il tempo: anni Trenta e Quaranta del secolo scorso. L'azione: attacco eversivo alla democrazia americana. Tutto si gioca negli anni cruciali tra l'ascesa al potere di Mussolini e di Hitler in Europa e l'entrata in guerra degli Stati Uniti nel 1941. La Germania, in vista del Reich millenario, investe milioni di marchi per inondare il suolo americano di propaganda e spie. Il terreno, del resto, è fertile. I simpatizzanti dell'ultradestra sono già numerosi, agguerriti, sparpagliati in tutto il Paese. Ci sono le Camicie d'argento di Pelley; c'è padre Coughlin, il prete 'radiofonico' cattolico e antisemita; ci sono l'industriale Henry Ford, l'aviatore Charles Lindbergh e l'archistar Philip Johnson; ci sono pure i suprematisti. A questi, noti, si aggiungeranno uomini dei media e degli apparati dello Stato, corrotti dalla visione e dal denaro dei nazisti. Una rete occulta, sostenuta da paramilitari che da anni si preparano all'insurrezione rubando armi dai depositi federali. L'obiettivo: rovesciare il governo di F.D. Roosevelt, entrare in guerra a fianco dell'Asse, instaurare un regime autoritario e razzista. Dall'altra parte, una manciata di uomini delle istituzioni e privati cittadini - pochi, temerari, dimenticati dalla Storia - soli davanti a questo gigantesco complotto, più simile a una trama di Philip K. Dick che alla realtà. Sarà Pearl Harbor, in extremis, a compattare la nazione. 'Prequel' è il resoconto di questa lotta feroce, impari, e del manipolo di e € 24,00

![]() ![]() Author: Maddow Rachel Publisher: Broadway Books The #1 New York Times bestseller that charts America’s dangerous drift into a state of perpetual war. Written with bracing wit and intelligence, Rachel Maddow's Drift argues that we've drifted away from America's original ideals and become a nation weirdly at peace with perpetual war. To understand how we've arrived at such a dangerous place, Maddow takes us from the Vietnam War to today's war in Afghanistan, along the way exploring Reagan's radical presidency, the disturbing rise of executive authority, the gradual outsourcing of our war-making capabilities to private companies, the plummeting percentage of American families whose children fight our constant wars for us, and even the changing fortunes of G.I. Joe. Ultimately, she shows us just how much we stand to lose by allowing the scope of American military power to overpower our political discourse. Sensible yet provocative, dead serious yet seriously funny, Drift will reinvigorate a 'loud and jangly' political debate about our vast and confounding national security state. € 15,20

![]() ![]() Author: Maddow Rachel Publisher: Random House Inc 'One of my favorite ideas is, never to keep an unnecessary soldier,' Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1792. Neither Jefferson nor the other Founders could ever have envisioned the modern national security state, with its tens of thousands of 'privateers'; its bloated Department of Homeland Security; its rusting nuclear weapons, ill-maintained and difficult to dismantle; and its strange fascination with an unproven counterinsurgency doctrine. Written with bracing wit and intelligence, Rachel Maddow's Drift argues that we've drifted away from America's original ideals and become a nation weirdly at peace with perpetual war, with all the financial and human costs that entails. To understand how we've arrived at such a dangerous place, Maddow takes us from the Vietnam War to today's war in Afghanistan, along the way exploring the disturbing rise of executive authority, the gradual outsourcing of our war-making capabilities to private companies, the plummeting percentage of American families whose children fight our constant wars for us, and even the changing fortunes of G.I. Joe. She offers up a fresh, unsparing appraisal of Reagan's radical presidency. Ultimately, she shows us just how much we stand to lose by allowing the priorities of the national security state to overpower our political discourse. Sensible yet provocative, dead serious yet seriously funny, Drift will reinvigorate a 'loud and jangly' political debate about how, when, and where to apply America's strength and power--and who gets to make those decisions. € 19,70
