Secret armies : $b the new technique of Nazi warfare

"Secret Armies: The New Technique of Nazi Warfare" by John L. Spivak is a historical analysis from the late 1930s that exposes the hidden maneuvers of Nazi operatives in the United States and throughout the Americas before and during World War II. The book sheds light on the troubling reach of fascist influence and its propaganda efforts in numerous countries. It begins by highlighting the increasing danger posed by Nazi agents across the Western Hemisphere, who were infiltrating nations and spreading their beliefs. Spivak stresses that this danger was not simply an international concern but a serious threat to the security of the United States and its allies. He explains the systematic organization of these agents, using examples from Czechoslovakia, where spies were used to sabotage and create conflict before German invasions. This also serves to highlight the far-reaching effects on democracy and national security if these actions go unstopped. Finally, he prepares readers for a detailed look at different plots and the agents involved that will be presented in the upcoming chapters.
