Nazis & Reds is the first book in The Protocols Nonet, a nine-book series chronicling the rise of authoritarianism in the United States and Europe from Karl Marx to the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp on April 25, 1945. The first book in the series focuses on the prewar years. Like all the books in the series, Nazis & Reds is composed of excerpts taken from memoirs, diaries, news and feature articles, histories, speeches, letters, situation reports, film and radio transcripts, and other historical documents selected not only for their power in illuminating the past, but for their relevance in terms of the times in which we live
