First published 2008
Jim Marrs argues that Nazi ideology survived World War II and infiltrated American institutions. He examines how ranking Nazis used stolen European wealth to establish corporate fronts in multiple countries, including the United States. Marrs traces how these individuals gradually acquired control of American companies, consolidating them into massive multinational corporations. He details classified programs like Project Paperclip that brought thousands of Nazis to America, importing advanced weapon technology alongside dangerous political philosophy. The book connects Nazi backgrounds in corporate leadership to an authoritarian mindset that justifies aggressive wars and restricted individual freedoms. Marrs presents evidence of a sixty-year campaign to establish National Socialist principles in modern America, effectively creating a new empire. He challenges readers to look beyond mainstream media narratives and government statements to recognize these hidden connections between fascism and contemporary American power structures.
