Free Audiobook : Prequel, by Rachel Maddow

Long before World War II’s battles raged overseas, a different kind of war was brewing on American soil. In Prequel, Rachel Maddow pulls back the curtain on a time when powerful voices, from preachers to politicians, spread Nazi propaganda right here at home. It’s a story of secret plots, hateful rhetoric, and a dangerous push to undermine democracy, all woven together with threads that feel uncomfortably close to today’s headlines.

With her signature blend of smarts and storytelling, Maddow shines a light on the brave souls who stood up to this rising tide. From dogged investigators to fearless citizens, their fight to protect the nation’s soul is as inspiring as it is unsettling. Narrating her own work, Maddow’s voice is like a trusted guide, delivering every twist with clarity and a touch of wry humor that keeps you hooked through every revelation.

Hailed as a “ripping read” by The New York Times, Prequel is more than history, it’s a call to stay vigilant. Rooted in the research behind her podcast Ultra, this Washington Post standout audiobook is perfect for anyone who craves a story that’s both a warning and a testament to courage. Buckle up for a listen that’ll leave you thinking long after it ends.
