Fascism: A Warning

"Fascism is a label casually slapped on many agendas these days. Here, Madeleine Albright, the former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and secretary of state, brings her personal experience growing up in Europe during the days of Mussolini and Hitler as well as her academic and diplomatic study of dictators to parse which modern political leaders are boldly adopting fascist tactics – and which ones are skirting the edges. Albright is a stylish and smooth writer, making big thoughts less vexing, providing context beyond a healthy Socratic approach. The questions she raises are important not just for history, but the present and the future."
