March Book Group Announcement
Join us Wed., March 11th at 7pm CT to discuss Prequel by Rachel Maddow. She traces the fight to preserve American democracy back to World War II, when a handful of committed public servants and brave private citizens thwarted far-right plotters trying to steer our nation toward an alliance with the Nazis.
