Infinity O-12 Torchlight Brigade Action PackThe Torchlight Brigade was a dormant project fed with reserved funds.

Scattered throughout the Sphere, its dormant agents waited until the time came to carry the torch that would bring light to those distant colonies, out there where chaos reigns supreme and injustice lurks in the shadows.

Impressive sources, sophomoric writing.
Format: Kindle
Should everyone read this book? Certainly. But the writing is too poor for me to offer an enthusiastic four or five star recommendation. I'm surprised an editor did not clean this up so that the book could live up to its eye-opening content.
This already short book has quite a lot of distracting, repetitive padding. Symbolic of this is the use of the phrase "of course" - it appears thirty times.
More repetition appears in the author's needless (and, I would say, presumptuous) dwelling on the reader's emotional reactions to the content of the book: the idea that America might have influenced the Nazis is "too awful to contemplate," and "is sure to seem distressing," and "hard to digest," and "no one wants to imagine" it, and "none of this is entirely easy to talk about," and "it is hard to look coolly on the question," and "it is hard to admit," and "no one wants to be perceived as relativizing," and "no non-Germans want their country to be accused," and "it is hard to overcome our sense that..." and "painful though it may be for us to admit..." and "awful it may be to contemplate," and "the story of American influence...is certainly depressing," and so on and so forth. Nevertheless, "To be sure, we must keep our composure..."
This repetition gets exhausting in a single 56-word sentence invoking the phrases "true nefandum...abyss of unexampled modern horror...sui generis radical evil...a sort of dark star."
More padding appears in the author's concern with arguing against weak positions: "We can, and should, reject the sort of simple-minded anti-Americanism..." "It would be a mistake to draw overblown conclusions..." Well, yes, simple-minded anything is to be rejected, as are overblown conclusions about anything. But that doesn't stop the author from presenting repetitive arguments.
Additional filler that an editor should have excised is in the form of these phrases, which read like a student trying to hit a required word count in a term paper: "It is important to note that..." "In particular it is essential to emphasize..." "We must bear that fact in mind..." "It is an unpleasant truth that..." "Worthy of attention above all is..." "It is particularly noteworthy that..." "Sahm is a particularly noteworthy author..."
Finally, the author descends into a kind of bullying that indicates a lack of confidence in his own presentation: "Our literature has taken a crass interpretative track." "It is a major interpretative fallacy on the part of all these scholars..."It would be foolish and craven to minimize Nazi interest in what American law represented." "It is essential to reject once and for all the proposition that American law could not have been of interest to the Nazis." "It is simply nonsense to claim..." "Once we dispose of that dubious claim..." "There can be no justification for ignoring the evidence..." "Only a naive and pedestrian understanding of law - only a dogged refusal to face facts..." An editor should have deleted these kinds of phrases and just let the content - the documenting of Nazi interest in America law - speak for itself.
With all this rhetorical padding, the book is overpriced. Nevertheless it has value as a kind of annotated bibliography.

Thoughtful, well researched, not a "fun" read
Format: Hardcover
This was a very thoughtful look at a topic I didn't know much about. It talks about prewar anti race mixing laws and immigration laws in the USA and other laws used to strip rights from nonwhites in the USA and how those laws were studied by Nazis who wrote laws for the third reich and what they thought of each other. The author obviously put a lot of research and thought into this work but is careful not to jump to any conclusions.
This book is very dense and as someone who is not a lawyer or anything, I could follow it but I had to read it more slowly than most other nonfiction books. Still very worth picking up if you are interested in the topic, though!

Format: Kindle
I must say, I am EXTREMELY biased towards Tim Wise. I adore him. He is a well-educated, genuine wordsmith. He shuts down the mess that we hear perpetrated on a daily basis regarding colorblind politics. In this book, he shuts down "colorblindness". I really love the fact that he criticized President Obama for his lack of legislation specifically for African-Americans. That was an issue I had with him and I believe that several African-Americans feel the same way. I understand, like Tim Wise, the position of President Obama and how easy it would have been for him to fall into a stereotype. I also believe that, no matter what he did, he will always be stereotyped, so why not help out the people who got you elected?
Great book by a "Wise" man.

Insights on the new racism
Format: Paperback
Wise, with good insight and armed with up-to-date facts, compellingly portrays the new strategies that have been developed within the US political system that actually serve to perpetuate racism in our society. Scary and brutal--a must read for anyone who really wants to know how our society subtley and not so subtley pushes a White supremacy agenda without even knowing it.
