Summary: Prequel - An American...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
'Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism' by Rachel Maddow, inspired by her podcast 'Ultra,' delves into the history of American authoritarianism, particularly focusing on a right-wing movement that emerged before and during World War II. This movement orchestrated a widespread disinformation campaign to weaken the U.S. war effort and align the country with the Axis powers. Maddow uncovers the shocking extent of this campaign, aimed at undermining democracy, promoting antisemitism, and eroding trust in democratic institutions with the end goal of authoritarian takeover. 
The book also explores an ultra-right paramilitary group that prepared for mass violence and insurrection. Parallel to these events, a group of activists and journalists worked tirelessly to expose this scheme. In 1941, the U.S. The Department of Justice took action against the conspirators but faced significant challenges, including political interference from influential figures, leading to a failure of the legal system. Maddow argues that this historical event, often overlooked and involving prominent officials, has had long-reaching impacts on American history and remains highly relevant in today's political climate.

The Apothecary's Wife - The...

Karen Bloom Gevirtz

The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments—and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century. 
 
 
 
Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today's global for-profit medication system. A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary's Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine's values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.
