In the first full-length biography of evangelist Gerald L. K. Smith (1898--1976), Glen Jeansonne traces the tempestuous career of this notorious bigot. A spellbinding speaker and brilliant organizer, Smith founded the reactionary hate sheet The Cross and the Flag as well as the anti-Semitic Christian Nationalist Crusade and ran for president three times. Exhaustively researched, this study contains information from Smith's FBI dossier, his personal papers, and Smith himself. Also included are compelling arguments concerning the causes of anti-Semitism in America, the role of demagogues, and the mentality of their loyal supporters.

The subject of "change" is foremost in the minds of Americans today. But when it comes to looking at our past, our country'’s pattern of change —and the response initiated by it— can take on added relevance, providing a meaningful context for understanding historical events. This is the idea behind Jeansonne’'s Transformation and Reaction. Capturing the revolutionary episodes that left their mark on America between World War I and the close of World War II, this insightful volume considers how these movements —and the reactions to them— affected the political, social, and cultural fabric of our country. Jeansonne weaves this "transformation and reaction" theme into a compelling narrative to explore the prevailing tensions of each decade. Highlights include a focus on the established policies of our country, as well as the apparent contradictions in those policies, and coverage of American history, from the political conservatism and cultural radicalism of the 1920s, through the Depression, New Deal, and economic boom fostered by World War II. Significant emphasis is placed on women and minorities. Major society-altering inventions, such as the automobile and airplane, also are discussed. Title of related interest also available from Waveland Press: Wilson, Herbert Hoover: Forgotten Progressive (ISBN 9780881337051).
