Arnie Bernstein will discuss and sign his new book "Swastika Nation" at Max and Benny's on Monday evening, September 16, 2013, at 7:00 pm, as part of the ongoing Chicago Jewish Authors Literary Series. Imagine a United States where swastikas hang proudly in meeting rooms across the country. Proud uniformed fascists parade in the streets of major American cities. "Swastika Nation" is the true story of the German-American Bund, who, in the late 1930s was led by Fritz Kuhn. It was a small but powerful pro-Hitler movement. Instead of winning American hearts and minds, Kuhn and his followers attracted powerful enemies including New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, District Attorney(and future presidential candidate) Thomas Dewey, newspaper bulldog Walter Winchell, and Jewish mobsters Meyer Lansky, Abner "Longy" Zwillman and Mickey Cohen. This book event should be an amazing evening. Please come early to assure a seat. Let Richard Reeder at 847-542-4624 or richardreeder34@gmail.com know how many in your party plan on attending.
