In general the book is informative and gives a good insight on how tyranny can be achieved and maintained in society. However, it is also quite US-centric and anti-Trump (which I do agree with), but it would have benefitted from a bit more objective approach.

Makes you realize how much 2016-2020 US government represents a shift towards fascism, but in a way that leaves you feeling clear headed, not overwhelmed and confused. Most importantly gives you the tools to face it. Very America-centric with examples but totally universal in principle.
