Rachel Maddow's next book will be an exploration into right-wing extremism in the U.S., including a plot to overthrow the government at the start of World War II.
Crown, an imprint of Penguin Random House, announced Monday that Maddow's “Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism" will be published Oct. 17. The book expands upon research for the liberal author-commentator's podcast “Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra," for which Steven Spielberg has acquired film rights.
