He does the only thing that makes sense by joining a hate group and trying to bolster his manhood with violence.Special guest Tom Stanton talks about his book, Terror in the City of Champions: Murder, Baseball, and the Secret Society that Shocked Depression-era Detroit , which looks at the highs and lows of 1930s Detroit.This episode was requested by one of our Patreon donors.
