Their plan was to turn discontented veterans into American &#8220;brown shirts,&#8221; depose<b> </b>F.D.R., and stop the New Deal. They clandestinely asked Medal of Honor recipient and Marine Major General Smedley Darlington Butler to become the first American Caesar. He, though, was a true patriot and revealed the plot to journalists and to Congress. In a time when a sitting President has invoked national security to circumvent constitutional checks and balances, this episode puts the spotlight on attacks upon our democracy and the individual courage needed to repel them.</div></div> 151591 3 2007 The Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR total:23|5:12|4:8|3:2|2:1| 23 100 41 10 3 0 false false Sat Sep 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 17:16:44 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 18:17:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Oct 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 25 11:30:08 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 26 20:33:15 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Sep 08 15:52:12 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 16:33:20 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Dec 07 00:06:49 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 21 13:38:52 -0800 2007 The Plot to Seize the White House is indispensable if for no other reason than being (apparently) the only book ever published devoted to this little-known facet of United States history: a planned fascist coup of FDR's white house -- backe...more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 12:36:57 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 12:43:24 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jan 07 21:27:48 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 23:24:11 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Dec 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 16:19:40 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 20:52:39 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jun 01 08:26:57 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 08:27:56 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat May 17 23:15:08 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 19 23:28:36 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 23:15:08 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Aug 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 18:25:37 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 18:26:33 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 18:37:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 18:37:00 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 02 07:38:22 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 07:38:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 15 10:25:48 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 10:25:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 18 23:42:57 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 23:42:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 15 07:05:43 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 07:05:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 28 16:02:30 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 16:02:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 22:56:56 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 22:56:56 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 26 21:12:54 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 21:12:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 08 13:19:12 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 13:19:12 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 28 12:49:58 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 13:11:42 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=157084
