This is a phenominal story of the Wall Street moguls of the 1930s who saw the FDR presidency as at least utopian socialism, if not outright communism. It is a time of ardent communists on one side led by Soviet Russia and fascists on the other, bolstered by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. At the time, American democracy was somewhere in the middle, but the Great Depression was a major political, economic and social factor, which could have tipped the scales one way or the other. Financial decisions had to made and a plot was hatched to seize the power of the White House, thereby the government.

Far fetched? As far fetched at the "plot" or potential "coup" surrounding the JFK assassination? Maybe. However, this plot is backed up by facts and the author, Jules Archer, has done his work well. Maybe too well, which might be one reason the book is so difficult to find today, even in libraries!

The plot was not only real, it was witnessed and documented by the man the moguls wanted to lead it, retired Marine Corps General, Smedley D. Butler.

Not a man for idle brag or idle praise, two-time Medal of Honor winner, Smedley Butler, was a Marine's Marine. He led his Marines from the font in battle, which was why he was such a popular figure with the veterans of that very unstable Depression period - a point not lost on those who wanted a military figure to lead a veteran army, similar to the Nazis in Germany, the Fascists in Italy and the strong but untried fascist movement in France.

Playing for time and gaining as much information as he could about the plotters, Butler finally took his evidence before the House Un-American Activities Committee. He reported. His report and evidence was found solid, legitimate and unquestioned. But then what? Nothing. As major industiral and banking names were involved, the story, it seems, was buried. Until Archer's book appeared in 1973. Then it seems to have been buried again.

The question is why and who is still afraid of the information contained in Archer's book?
