Husband is currently reading 'It Can't Happen Here' - every now and then he says read this paragraph - a sure sign he's finding it interesting.
First published in 1935. Here's a link to a PDF version.

This is from the sellers page -

Published during the heyday of fascism in Europe, It Can’t Happen Here is a chilling cautionary tale by one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century, which is still startlingly relevant almost a century later.
Charting the rise to power of Berzelius ‘Buzz’ Windrip, who whips his supporters into a frenzy while promising drastic reform under a banner of patriotism and traditional values, It Can’t Happen Here decries the tactics used by politicians to mobilise voters, and exposes the danger of authoritarianism arising from populist platforms, and the chaos such regimes can leave in their wake.

Thank you. I read Sinclair Lewis in school, but did not know of this. Will read.
