A WRITER'S WIT |
MY BOOK WORLD
This cautionary tale should be read by every adult in America. It should be taught in every college America history class. It should be available to all public libraries. Why? Essentially because Maddow painstakingly tells the story of German Nazis who, in the 1930s and 1940s, make plans to sweep America up into its fascist web. And the main players happen to be American citizens who in various ways enable the Germans: congresspeople and other public figures. Maddow provides lists of the good guys and the bad (some are even women). She carefully lays out for readers how all this takes place. The most important message, however, is, for the most part, unwritten. She, by the title she uses, would like for us to see that it could happen again. There are people in congress, just as eighty years ago, who would like to enable a fascist-leaning leader to become president. And we must stop them.
