A very good look at the past in reference to today’s events. Like a case study to understand something that might happen in the near future. I found it to be credible.

Not a huge fan of long and detailed non-fiction, but this was very educational and makes me skeptical of humans and their nature while also thankful for those who act seemingly selflessly.

Ms Maddow’s best-selling book revisits a period of history that has been either forgotten or put on the shelf, and never revealed to the current generation. This history bears revisiting, because it can happen again…a prequel to our current cultural threat of warring political bodies and unfit presidential candidates. The author makes this point over and over by just relating the facts. A deeply researched book.

Very important.

Amazing & Terrifying at the same time! Fact filled and carefully referenced to achieve a book that will forever be an important part of the United States history.

At 73 I would have thought that I had a good sense of America’s racial and ethnic challenges, currently and historically. Reading Prequel affirmed I have much more to learn on the subject. Thank you Rachel!

That’s ALL ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE, Rachel. Isn’t it?

A history lesson that reminds us — given some of the present political currents — not to forget the past lest we allow a repeat.

Very readable coverage of the depressing story of American ultra-right efforts to undermine U.S. democracy in the years prior to World War II. Let us hope history does not repeat.

I really never thought that America’s history with facism was never limited to WWII, until I listened to Ultra. I applaud your efforts to make known history so it never repeats itself.
