Yet many Americans remained largely indifferent as he turned his dangerous ambitions abroad. Not William Bailey. <p/> Just days after violent anti-Semitic riots had broken out in Berlin, the SS <i>Bremen</i>, the flagship of Hitler's commercial armada, was welcomed into New York Harbor. Bailey led a small group that slipped past security and cut down the Nazi flag from the boat in the middle of a lavish party. A brawl ensued, followed by a media circus and a trial, in which Bailey and his team were stunningly acquitted. The political victory ultimately exposed Hitler's narcissism and violent aggression for all of America to see. <p/><i>The Agitator</i> is the captivating story of Bailey's courage and vision in the Bremen incident, the pinnacle of a life spent battling against fascism. Bailey's story is full of drama and heart--and it's an inspiration to anyone who seeks to resist tyranny.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Duffy</b> is an author and journalist based in New York City.
