A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America.\n\nWritten during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press.\n\nCalled “a message to thinking Americans” by the Springfield Republican when it was published in 1935, It Can’t Happen Here is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today’s news.\n\nWith an Introduction by Michael Meyer\nand an Afterword by Gary Scharnhorst\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0451465644\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0451465644.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lewis, Sinclair|Meyer, Michael|Scharnhorst, Gary\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Mass market paperback in GOOD condition with normal wear from use.
