Hitler in Los Angeles : how Jews foiled Nazi plots against Hollywood and America

Also discusses Nazi threats and their influence on Hollywood film content and the sometimes conflicted role of German consul Georg Gyssling, and also Los Angeles's anti-Semitic political movements. Includes bibliographical references (pages 347-397) and index. 414 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm
