[hermetic]

15. Wow, written in 1935

It was republished in 2016. Salon called it “The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump's authoritarian appeal.”

"Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler's aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press.
...a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today's news."

Glad to see it's available at my library. A must read.
