Nazi activists started to gather in major American cities, and by 1933, there were more than one-hundred anti-Semitic groups operating openly in the United States. Few Americans dared to speak out or fight back--until an organized resistance of notorious Jewish mobsters (Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Red Levine, and others) waged their own personal war against the Nazis in their midst, gangland-style . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePacked with surprising, little-known facts, graphic details, and unforgettable personalities, \u003ci\u003eGangsters vs. Nazis\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the mob's most ruthless tactics in taking down fascism--inspiring ordinary Americans to join them in their fight. The book culminates in one of the most infamous events of the pre-war era--the 1939 Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden--in which law-abiding citizens stood alongside hardened criminals to fight against the Nazis for the soul of America. This is the story of the mob that's rarely told--one of the most fascinating chapters in American history and American organized crime.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Benson\u003c\/b\u003e is the acclaimed author of nonfiction history and crime books, including \u003ci\u003eGangsters vs. Nazis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHollywood vs. Nazis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEvil Season\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Betrayal in Blood\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eMoguls\u003c\/i\u003e, co-authored with Craig Singer.
