Book Reviews of It Can't Happen Here

Book Review: A frightening analysis of something that could happen.
Summary: 5 Stars

I found this book to be quite unnerving because a lot of the problems it talks about can be found in America today. No, we aren't through an economic depression, but I have observed that a lot of people would like the government to control more about their lives, which has the potential to lead to a fascist dictatorship. I know, people might say "It can't happen here", just like in the book, but I think that Sinclair Lewis was right in the idea that it could happen.
