It Can't Happen Here is a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression when America 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, rampant promiscuity, crime, and a liberal press. Now finally back in print, It Can't Happen Here remains uniquely important, a shockingly prescient novel that's as fresh and contemporary as today's news.

Seventy-five years after it was written, Sinclair Lewis' piercing satire shows how populism on the heels of economic distress can be transformed into fascism. Even more interesting is that Lewis wrote this before the Nazi and Stalinist nightmares were played out, but somehow the book foresees their methods. The characters, including the aging small town newspaper editor, are never allowed to become cliches or caricatures. Instead, Lewis is able to balance witty satire with a compelling and haunting alternative take on U.S. history.
