Critics Review

A timely and fascinating book… There are many astonishing vignettes here… Rachel Maddow has written an important book. Pity that so few Republicans are likely to read or heed it. The word fascism no longer frightens half the people it should. – Max Hastings * Sunday Times *A ripping read… . The parallels to the present day are strong, even startling * New York Times (Editor’s Choice) *A chilling history lesson… vivid, urgent, smart… Maddow makes clear that the crisis we face today is not new and that this realization should give us hope - because previous generations have faced this threat and overcome it. * Washington Post

What readers are saying about Prequel:**** ‘Highly recommend if you want to learn about how a country can come close to losing its democracy’***** ‘This book will turn your hair white.’***** ‘Rachel Maddow is fast becoming one of our greatest contemporary historians.’***** ‘A must for anyone interested in American history in the 20th century.’
