Summary
"During WWII, a group of American Catholics openly embraced Nazism. Their armed wing, the Christian Front, stockpiled weapons for the revolution. Charles Gallagher unearths the history of these forgotten terrorists, the mainstream leaders who protected them, the powers who brought them down, and a society that has suppressed their memory"-- Provided by publisher.
