The only one of Sinclair Lewiss later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith, It Cant 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 Hitlers 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 Cant Happen Here remains uniquely important, a shockingly prescient novel thats as fresh and contemporary as todays news.
