The Agitator: William Bailey and the First American Uprising against Nazism
Autor Peter Duffyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mar 2019
By 1935, Hitler had suppressed all internal opposition and established himself as Germany's unchallenged dictator. Yet many Americans remained largely indifferent as he turned his dangerous ambitions abroad. Not William Bailey.
Just
days
after
violent
anti-Semitic
riots
had
broken
out
in
Berlin,
the
SSBremen,
the
flagship
of
Hitler's
commercial
armada,
was
welcomed
into
New
York
Harbor.
Bailey
led
a
small
group
that
slipped
past
security
and
cut
down
the
Nazi
flag
from
the
boat
in
the
middle
of
a
lavish
party.
A
brawl
ensued,
followed
by
a
media
circus
and
a
trial,
in
which
Bailey
and
his
team
were
stunningly
acquitted.
The
political
victory
ultimately
exposed
Hitler's
narcissism
and
violent
aggression
for
all
of
America
to
see.
The
Agitatoris
the
captivating
story
of
Bailey's
courage
and
vision
in
the
Bremen
incident,
the
pinnacle
of
a
life
spent
battling
against
fascism.
Bailey's
story
is
full
of
drama
and
heart--and
it's
an
inspiration
to
anyone
who
seeks
to
resist
tyranny.
