Publisher's Synopsis
The world is sliding into a new era of autocracy and oligarchy.
After globetrotting explorations of the aftereffects of U.S. military interventions and of models for successful citizen movements, Brian Gruber travels the breadth of Europe to explore the appeal of authoritarianism in its various forms. What is fascism? How did fascists come to power? What are the outcomes of authoritarian governance? What can American voters learn from each country's experience? Traveling overland from Lisbon to Istanbul, he interviews historians, activists, theorists, artists, and people on the street to sound the alarm about the creeping fascism of the Trump rightist movement. Come along for the ride and get a primer on alternate visions for the future of the United States and the world.
