Diane S. Vann's “Undermining the U.S. Constitution” will be presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2026 by The Maple Staple, with Inks & Bindings as co-exhibitor. Copies of the nonfiction work will be distributed at Hall 5.1, Stand D86 during the October 7 to 11 event at Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Written from Vann's perspective as a nurse, the book uses the metaphor of illness to examine what she describes as the growth of communism, or Marxism, in the United States. She compares the process to a disease that can develop unnoticed before its effects become more apparent.
Vann examines the ideology through the Communist Manifesto, devoting sections of the book to its origins, selected passages, and what she identifies as its influence in contemporary America. The book then contrasts the Communist Manifesto with the U.S. Constitution and presents constitutional principles as what Vann considers a means of protecting the country's political and cultural foundations.
The book includes the complete text of Marx's Communist Manifesto and examines it alongside Vann's discussion of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address.
Vann's professional background informs the perspective of the work. She earned a B.S.N. from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 1974 and an M.S.N. from the University of Tennessee in 1986. Her primary interests include nursing and health promotion. She has also been involved in American politics, including a 2010 candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in Georgia.
At this year's Frankfurt Book Fair, “Undermining the U.S. Constitution” will join The Maple Staple's third year of exhibiting books across all genres. Visitors can find the title at Stand D86 and receive a complimentary copy.
The full Frankfurt selection can be explored through The Maple Staple's Frankfurt Connect profile and its Frankfurt Book Fair 2026 online showcase. The book is also available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other leading book retailers worldwide.
