Blood and Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German Empire 1871–1918 (Katya Hoyer)
<p>Before 1871, Germany was not yet a nation but simply an idea. Otto von Bismarck had a formidable task at hand. How would he bring thirty-nine individual states under the yoke of a single Kaiser, convincing proud Prussians, Bavarians and Rhinelanders to become Germans? Once united, could the young European nation wield enough power to rival the empires of Britain and France – all without destroying itself in the process?<br/><br/>In a unique study of five decades that changed the course of modern history, Katja Hoyer tells the story of the German Empire from its violent beginnings to its calamitous defeat in the First World War. This often-startling narrative is a dramatic tale of national self-discovery, social upheaval and realpolitik that ended, as it started, in blood and iron.<br/><br/>HOST: Rob Mellon<br/><br/>FEATURED BREW: Copper Legend Octoberfest, Jack's Abby Craft Lagers, Framingham, Massachusetts<br/><br/>BOOK: <em>Blood and Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German Empire 1871–1918</em><br/>https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Iron-German-Empire-1871-1918/dp/0750998598/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2W28Z4OL447V6&keywords=blood+and+iron+katja+hoyer&qid=1665249853&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjk3IiwicXNhIjoiMS43NyIsInFzcCI6IjEuODAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=blood+and+iron%2Caps%2C597&sr=8-1<br/><br/>MUSIC: BoneS Fork<br/>https://bonesfork.com/</p>

Gangsters vs. Nazis: How Jewish Mobsters Battled Nazis in WW2 Era America (Michael Benson)
<p>As Adolph Hitler rose to power in 1930s Germany, a growing wave of fascism began to take root on American soil. Nazi activists started to gather in major American cities, and by 1933, there were more than one-hundred anti-Semitic groups operating openly in the United States. Few Americans dared to speak out or fight back—until an organized resistance of notorious mobsters waged their own personal war against the Nazis in their midst. Gangland-style. . . .<br/><br/>Packed with surprising, little-known facts, graphic details, and unforgettable personalities, <em>Gangsters vs. Nazis</em> chronicles the mob’s most ruthless tactics in taking down fascism—inspiring ordinary Americans to join them in their fight. The book culminates in one of the most infamous events of the pre-war era—the 1939 Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden—in which law-abiding citizens stood alongside hardened criminals to fight for the soul of a nation. This is the story of the mob that’s rarely told—one of the most fascinating chapters in American history and American organized crime.<br/><br/>HOST: Rob Mellon<br/><br/>FEATURED BREW: Almost Famous New England IPA, Torch and Crown Brewing Company, New York, New York<br/><br/>BOOK: Gangsters vs. Nazis: How Jewish Mobsters Battled Nazis in WW2 Era America <br/>https://www.amazon.com/Gangsters-vs-Nazis-Mobsters-Battled/dp/0806541792/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2LJYOXW8FOQYF&keywords=gangsters+vs+nazis+michael+benson&qid=1664750956&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjI3IiwicXNhIjoiMS4wMiIsInFzcCI6IjEuMjMifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=gangsters+vs+%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-1<br/><br/>MUSIC: BoneS Fork<br/>https://bonesfork.com/</p>
