This gripping first-hand account by John Roy Carlson offers a rare glimpse into the dangerous world of Nazi sympathizers and fascist organizations operating within the United States during World War II. Published in 1943, at the height of the war, “Under Cover” exposed the subversive activities of groups like the German-American Bund, revealing their plans to undermine American democracy and aid the Nazi cause. Carlson, a skilled investigative journalist, went undercover for four years, risking his life to infiltrate these organizations and document their treacherous actions. His courageous reporting played a vital role in raising awareness and ultimately curbing the influence of these anti-American factions. This copy, despite its well-worn exterior, remains a powerful testament to the vigilance required to safeguard freedom and the crucial role of the press in exposing threats to democracy.
