The Yahoos : The Sobering Expose of Inciters of Racism, Violence and Mayhem
The Yahoos by Mike Newberry is a documented and sobering expose of the neo-fascist groups in the United States and their interconnections with the so-called respectable right. Their incitement to violence, to racism, to thermo-nuclear war, which seems so irrational, is skillfully designed to appeal to all the most backward prejudices in the nation. This book by a penetrating newspaperman is a revelation of the dangers facing the republic in a period of transition and great social tensions.

In a later interview, Marzani described his publishing house:
"We also had a very distinguished list – we had the first book on the Rosenbergs, the first book on FBI informers,a the first book on black armed self-defense, and so on. We also had an outlet for the blacklisted writers – we published novels and other writings by Ring Lardner Jr., Alvah Bessie, Abe Polonsky, Albert Maltz."
"We also did an enormous amount of pamphlets, four or five every year – on the Bay of Pigs, on Vietnam, the Warren Report – there wasn't a major issue we didn't put out something on. We were a major influence among two or three others – the National Guardian, Monthly Review – during the years I call the American resistance to McCarthyism."
In 1959 when Cameron left for at job at Knopf, Marzani became president. Marzani and Munsell publishing house "was destroyed in a mysterious fire" in 1966, ending the run of books, pamphlets, broadsheets and reprints.

Marzani later described the loss: "It destroyed our stock, our lists, everything, and we had no insurance."
