The classic journalistic accounts on this subject are the various books by "John Roy Carlson," particularly "Under Cover," which was a massive bestseller during WWII. The author poses as an Italian fascist to infiltrate and report on the various branches of the American fascist movement; along the way he encounters all manner of blue bloods and society folks pouring money on the Coughlinites, the American nazis, and all varieties of anti-semitism. Needless to say, the book was "controversial"; it deeply angered the blue bloods and captains of industry who found their names named in it.
