About this title: Most people will be shocked to learn that in 1933 a cabal of wealthy industrialists--in league with groups like the K.K.K. and the American Liberty League--planned to overthrow the U.S. government in a fascist coup. Their plan was to turn discontented veterans into American "brown shirts," depose F.D.R., and stop the New Deal. They clandestinely asked Medal of Honor recipient and Marine Major General Smedley Darlington Butler to become the first American Caesar. He, though, was a true patriot and revealed the plot to journalists and to Congress. In a time when a sitting President has invoked ...

"Jules Archer's 'The Plot to Seize the White House' is a plain, unvarnished telling of the most shameful episode in American history. Every clod who actually believes the myth about 'the liberal media' and the myth of 'the Red peril' and the myth that Congress looks out for our interests ought to be required to read Archer's book. The pity is that most of them wouldn't believe it anyway, and they're too bloody stupid to look up the truth for themselves. It's all in the public record, you see. Archer's book is incontestably true.
If you're one of the tens of millions who never heard of John J. Raskob or The Liberty League or Gen. Smedley D. Butler, if you don't know the origins of The American Legion, then you, too, should be required to read this book. If you're also an American patriot, this book will shake you to the core.
This is a four-bagger of a book, folks. It's as easy to read as your favorite newspaper and ten times, a hundred times more important. Don't talk about American history until you've read 'The Plot to Seize the White House.'"
"Not particularly well-written, but a profoundly important historical incident that not many Americans are aware of. Particularly significant if you remember that Prescott Bush was involved with the American Liberty League. Plus, it's a biography of Smedley Butler, which, if even half the stories in here are true, he was about as impressive as they get."
"As a book it's not perfect, but the story is so mind blowing and fascinating that it should be required reading. I thought this must be some sort of crazy conspiracy theory story when I first heard of it, but it appears to be true. How could something this major be true and virtually unknown to most people? Because the politics of the time are the politics of now, and are still sensitive material, so most people just bury their head in the sand."
