Fascism - Why Not Here? (Hardcover)

When the Nazis took power in 1933, most Germans did not foresee the
oncoming storm. Many were wildly enthusiastic; some were alarmed;
most were worried but trusted that things would work out. In short,
they felt much as Americans have felt from time to time. "Fascism:
Why Not Here?" draws parallels between German culture of the early
twentieth century and American culture today, concluding that
fascism could arise in America but not through either of the major
political parties. While Fogarty postulates that it would take a
confluence of events and circumstances to propel Americans into the
arms of fascism, he concludes that it is not entirely unlikely. If
the war against terrorism were to become more costly and less
effective, if the economy were to tailspin, and if we were to
endure several other major terrorist attacks, how would we respond
to a political outsider s bold and decisive plan to end partisan
bickering and make America great again? In examining the
similarities and differences between Nazi Germany and America
today, Fogarty finds many reasons for hope that Americans would not
fall victim to such a chauvinisitic appeal, but he also finds
plenty to worry about. He points out that contemporary Americans
and Germans of the 1920s and 1930s share many similar values,
ideals, fears, and beliefs. Fogarty s strong words of caution will
appeal to any reader who is concerned about America s political
future and the freedoms we too often take for granted.
