According to the book for race and nation, quote, Rockwell told television reporters that the A&P was growing every minute, but that his goals had been misrepresented by newspapers.
Why people recommend it
For Race and Nation is a biographical text detailing the life and ideology of George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party. On the podcast Behind the Bastards, host Robert Evans referenced the book throughout his multi-part series on Rockwell to trace the extremist leader's rise and his impact on American bigotry. Evans drew upon the biography to describe Rockwell's troubled family background and his strained relationship with his father, whom relatives remembered as an egomaniac. The text also provided a vivid account of the bizarre initiation ceremonies practiced by Rockwell's followers, which involved pricking the cheek with a razor blade, letting a drop of blood fall onto a swastika flag, and swearing a loyal troopers' oath. Furthermore, Evans used the book to explain how Rockwell manufactured sensational stories for pulp magazines to invent and promote the modern Holocaust denial myth, as well as how the extremist handled public interactions and media appearances. By relying on this biographical source, Evans exposed the absurd yet deeply dangerous methods Rockwell used to drag fringe neo-Nazi ideology into the American public eye.
