"This book, written by Niel M. Johnson, records the life of George Sylvester Viereck. Known for his connection with the Nazi Party, Viereck worked for years to soften the American public to the Nazi cause and introduce them to the figure of Adolf Hitler, going so far as to be the first American to interview Hitler. Drawing from academic secondary sources, Viereck's autobiography, and contemporaneous writings by Viereck, Johnson writes a profile of one of the most well known and prolific propagators of Nazi influence and propaganda in the United States. The time period discuss stretches from the pre-WWI era to 1944. The resource includes photographs of Viereck in the discussed time period, as well as scans of some of his articles. Overall, Johnson writes a comprehensive piece on the actions, ideology, and motivations of the Nazi-sympathizer George Sylvester Viereck during the first four and a half decades of the 20th century." - from cataloger.
