Secret Armies
In 'Secret Armies', John L. Spivak delivers an unflinching exploration of the clandestine expansion of the Nazi regime in the prelude to the Second World War. Spivak's exposé, couched in the journalistic style of muckraking, is an incisive addition to early 20th-century investigative literature. By employing a robust narrative technique, Spivak not only unravels the threads of a covert war machine but situates his findings within a larger tapestry of geopolitical turbulence and ideological warfare, offering readers a thorough understanding of how subterfuge and propaganda became weapons as potent as arms and soldiers. The historical context of this tome is paramount, capturing a world on th...
Race, Labor, and Violence in the Delta
Race, Labor, and Violence in the Delta examines the history of labor relations and racial conflict in the Mississippi Valley from the Civil War into the late twentieth century. This essay collection grew out of a conference marking the hundredth anniversary of one of the nation’s deadliest labor conflicts—the 1919 Elaine Massacre, during which white mobs ruthlessly slaughtered over two hundred African Americans across Phillips County, Arkansas, in response to a meeting of unionized Black sharecroppers. The essays here demonstrate that the brutality that unfolded in Phillips County was characteristic of the culture of race- and labor-based violence that prevailed in the century after the ...
Secret Armies: the New Technique of Nazi Warfare
The material in this small volume just barely scratches the surface of a problem which is becoming increasingly grave: the activities of Nazi agents in the United States, Mexico, and Central America. During the years John Spivak observed some of them, watching the original, crudely organized and directed propaganda machine develop, grow and leave an influence for wider than most people seem to realize. What at first appeared to be merely a distasteful attempt by Nazi Government officials at direct interference in the affairs of the American people and their Government, has now assumed the more sinister aspect of also seeking American naval and military secrets. Further studies in Central Ame...
A Man in His Time
A skilled reporter describes the passions of his political lifetime and gives a new perspective on twentieth century U.S.A.
From Scottsboro to Munich
Presenting a portrait of engaged, activist lives in the 1930s, this text follows a global network of individuals and organizations that posed challenges to the racism and colonialism of the era.
Secret Armies: the New Technique of Nazi Warfare
Secret Armies climaxes Spivak's exposures. His sensational inside story of Hitler's far-flung, under-cover poison campaign in the Americas would seem scarcely credible, were it not so thoroughly documented with original letters and records, citing chapter and verse, naming names, dates and places. His unanswerable, uncontradicted facts should go far toward jolting many of us out of our false sense of security.

This Georgia Rising
This Georgia Rising is a study of Georgia's political changes in the decade of the Second World War and in the postwar years of the 1940s. Georgia's political establishment underwent challenges in the 1940s in everything from Georgians defending the state's university system from attacks by Governor Eugene Talmadge to challenges by Georgia's larger cities and towns to the state's county unit system to the early postwar stirrings of the modern civil rights movement. An array of progressive forces--including Georgia's veterans of the Second World War, college and university students, newspaper editors and reporters in the state's larger circulating newspapers and smaller town newspapers--fough...
The Social Life of Poetry
From Jewish publishers to Appalachian poets, Green s cultural study reveals the role of "Mountain Whites" in American racial history. Part One (1880-1935) explores the networks that created American pluralism, revealing Appalachia s essential role in shaping America s understanding of African Americans, Anglos, Jews, Southerners, and Immigrants. Drawing upon archival research and deft close readings of poems, Part Two (1934-1946) delves into the inner-workings of literary history and shows how diverse alliances used four books of poetry about Appalachia to change America s notion of race, region, and pluralism. Green starts with how Jesse Stuart and the Agrarians defended Southern whiteness, follows how James Still appealed to liberals, shows how Muriel Rukeyser put Appalachia at the center of anti-fascism, and ends with how Don West and the Progressives struggled to form interracial labor unions in the South.
