"I believe so. It's a really interesting look at how the US pushed back on authoritarianism in the past and what can be learned by the success and failures. "

"This is well researched with plenty of sources while presenting mystery and intrigue in this mind blowing account. It gives a unique historic look into a conspiracy from WWII that could've been ripped from our current political affairs headlines. There is so much our that we never knew. It leaves you wanting to hear another story. "
Angela Soden
"Thoroughly researched though episodes are longer than necessary ( 8 episodes could have easily been two hours) but this history buff learned much. Maddow expanded on some of the revelations from Ken Burns "US & the Holocaust" and way too many similarities we see in today's GQP"
Phillip Ayscue
"This show is so good, I love history and I never knew much at all about the extent of American Nazi movements in the united state, let alone that they were successful terrorists. I mean I would listen to Rachel Maddow read nutrition labels for 10 hours but that's just me. The content is amazing, I was shocked I had never learn about so many of these events "
