Abstract
"Nazis of Copley Square: The Forgotten Story of the Christian Front" by Charles R. Gallagher, published in 2021, delves into the collaboration between Nazis and the Christian Front in New York and Boston during the late 1930s and early 1940s. Gallagher explores the impact of this alliance on American democracy, the war effort, and the propagation of antisemitism, rooted in a weaponized interpretation of mainstream Catholic doctrine. The book highlights the rise of the Christian Front, led by Francis Moran, and its eventual collapse due to FBI scrutiny and the entry of the United States into World War II. Gallagher's work sheds light on a dark chapter in American history, emphasizing the intersection of religion and right-wing politics during a tumultuous period. [Extracted from the article]
