This is a succinct and direct warning about the rise of authoritarianism in the US written during the first Trump administration. The situation in 2025 is even more dire now that millions of people thought it was a good idea to give Tyrant Trump another go. History is bound to repeat itself if we forget. Every US resident should read this book and heed its author’s advise.
