I have just finished reading Sinclair Lewis’ book by the same name, and it is so prescient as to be terrifying.
A man with a rather “iffy” reputation is elected president, in spite of warnings that he could be dangerous. People really don’t think he means all of the things he says – until it is too late.
He forms his own army, and begins rounding up political opponents, claiming they are Communists. Some of the people think this is great news, while others are not so sure. . .
Reading this book and reading today’s news makes it hard to believe in was written in 1935. I cannot recommend it enough.
