Detroit, 1941. With the nation on the brink of war, four people unite against the treachery that threaten’s America’s “arsenal of democracy.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eva Szab\u00f3, a young immigrant, goes undercover at the Ford Rouge Assembly plant to expose the company’s campaign of anti-union violence. Her boss, private investigator Elizabeth Waters, probes Detroit’s pro-Nazi, Christian nationalist fifth column groups. Police detective Clarence Brown, part of a segregated squad of Black officers, exposes a deadly conspiracy to ignite racial hatred. And Detective Sergeant Denny Rankin seeks the links between them all to atone for his part in Detroit’s widespread corruption scandals.<\/p>\n

“The novel is more than a poignant human drama\u2014it aims to recreate a rich historical period with chilling parallels to our own time: violence and bloodshed in the name of race and class, governmental corruption, corporate greed\u2014much of it related to or caused by the deeply rooted fascism which is alive and well.” ~Prairie Books Review<\/p>\n

“Real life pro-Hitler figures plot while those of Levin’s invention constitute the progressive forces standing in the way of catastrophe. Highly recommended.” –<Peter Werb<\/p>\n

Donald Levin’s ‘Arsenal of Deceit’ is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the intricate web of deception that shapes the world of politics and racism.\u00a0 With meticulous research and a keen eye for local detail, Levin exposes the hidden agendas and manipulative tactics employed by governments and intelligence agencies. A seamless blend of history, geopolitics, and espionage, the book unveils a complex landscape of covert operations and disinformation campaigns, offering readers a captivating journey into the realm of global intrigue. ‘Arsenal of Deceit’ is an eye-opening look at 1940s Detroit and a timely work that challenges our perceptions of power, trust and relationships. A great companion volume to Levin’s 1930s noir Detroit expos\u00e8, Savage City<\/a>. <\/p>\n
