It Can Happen Here - Authoritarian Peril in the Age of Bush 

SKU: SKU523

First Edition Hardcover!

For the first time since the Nixon era, Americans have reason to doubt the future - or even the presence - of democracy. We live in a society where government conspires with big business and big evangelism; where ideologues and religious zealots diminish liberty and promote war; attack logic and the scientific method; and where the president's party encourages xenophobic nationalism based on irrational, exaggerated, manufactured fear. The Bush-Cheney regime seems to seek a perpetual state of war to hold on to power, and they are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to achieve their ends. The question must be asked: Are we headed toward the end of American democracy?

In 1935, Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis depicted authoritarianism American-style in his sardonically titled dystopian novel It Can’t Happen Here. Now, bestselling political journalist Joe Conason argues that it CAN happen here - and a select group of extremely powerful right-wing ideologues are driving us ever closer to the precipice.

In this compelling, impassioned, yet rational and fact-based look at the state of the nation, Conason shows how and why America has been wrenched away from its founding principles and is being dragged toward authoritarianism.
