HTML:<b>"The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump's authoritarian appeal."—Salon</b><i><br /> It Can't Happen Here</i> is the only one of Sinclair Lewis's later novels to match the power of <i>Main Street,</i> <i>Babbitt</i>, and <i>Arrowsmith</i>. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America.<br /> 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.<br /> Called "a message to thinking Americans" by the <i>Springfield Republican</i> when it was published in 1935, <i>It Can't Happen Here</i> is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today's news.<br /> <b>Includes an Introduction by Michael Meyer</b><br /> <b>and an Afterword by Gary Scharnhorst</b>.
