"It Can't Happen Here" is the only one of Sinclair Lewis's later
novels to match the power of "Main Street, ""Babbitt," and
"Arrowsmith." A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy,
it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take
hold in America. 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. Called "a message to
thinking Americans" by the" Springfield Republican" when it was
published in 1935, "It Can't Happen Here "is a shockingly prescient
novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today's news.
