A review by christianholub
Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell, Lionel Trilling

4.0

One of the first things I did after the election was pick up this book. Trump's coming administration (and those of similar hard right-wing nationalist leaders coming into power across the globe) will not look exactly like the fascism of the 30s and 40s, but nevertheless there's a lot to be learned from taking a look back at those struggles - not least because the ruinous left/liberal in-fighting Orwell witnessed firsthand in Spain is a problem those of us planning to resist the aforementioned governments will have to overcome.
