Publisher's Synopsis
Some seventy years after the defeat of fascism in Europe, the United States elected Donald Trump. As president Trump has ordered the deportation of millions of immigrants, attacked freedom of the press and stated that those who marched along side Neo-nazi's in a white supremacist rally were "fine young men." How is it possible that the nation that responded to the fascism in World War Two by proclaiming "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself" could give rise to this? This well documented text examines historic similarities between Trump and earlier anti-democratic movements, explores why so much of the electorate voted for him despite it his hateful rhetoric, looks at Trumps actions since taking office, contemplates what a Trump presidency could mean for the future and explores resistance to the Trump agenda.
