Jack Roosevelt Robinson (1919-72) was the first African American to "officially" play in Major League Baseball. When he retired from the game, Jackie Robinson went on to champion the cause of civil rights from his position as a prominent executive of the Chock Full o'Nuts Corporation.

Secret Armies: The New Techniques of Nazi Warfare
$8.92
Book
Spivak reviews the period 1937 to 1939 when the Nazis were able to obtain all of their desires for expansion (Austria, Czechoslovakia, the Ruhr, etc.) without having to fight. They used negotiation, intimidation and their foreign agents to influence foreign policy in Britain and other major foreign powers. They also used the influence of the wealthy, whose fear of communism led them to favor the development of fascist countries. The author warns about similar techniques being used within the United States-- to keep us out of the war and to weaken us in the event of war. To me, the story was enlightening and plausible. Most other histories I've seen of this period gloss over the details, so I enjoyed reading it. It is one man's view of the coming debacle and must have been enlightening to some people during the period before America entered the war.This is a reproduction copy from a scanned edition, please review the online preview to see that it meets your expectations.
