Fascism: A Warning by Madeleine K. AlbrightMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a very interesting book. Albright does an excellent job of defining the characteristics of Fascism and how fascism takes hold in various countries around the world throughout history. She describes the Fascists leaders of both the World War II era and modern day. Albright also describes how easy it is for a country or people to fall prey to Fascism if they do not remain vigilant and protect essential Democratic institutions and values.
I wasn't expecting as much history in the book, but it did provide helpful context, especially since Albright herself grew up under a Fascist government. The personal connection brought a sense of authority and authenticity to her argument. The narrative is well written, well researched, and engaging. I did not find it boring or dry at all.
If you have any interest in history, politics, or modern government then I think you would enjoy this book.
