Crazy like a fox, for a time, anyway. He managed to suck in Lindbergh and the Duke of Windsor and his dreadful wife (not that they were bastions of intelligence, but still, you'd figure even a dullard having the benefit of a decent education would know better...) and a lot of people you'd just wouldn't expect to be such cheery racists...but that racism, it's a vicious thing. Indeed!

This book? http://www.amazon.com/In-Garden-Beasts-American-Hitlers/dp/030740885X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359824448&sr=8-1&keywords=garden+of+the+beasts

It looks REALLY good, actually--I think I may grab a copy!!
