I recently finished reading and reviewing The Moon Is Down by John Steinbeck. According to the publisher's description, John Steinbeck labelled his work as a "celebration of the durability of democracy."
Steinbeck's quote started me thinking about other books I've read about democracy, fascism, or how things in society could go or have gone awry.
The first five books listed are ones I have already read. The remaining six books listed are ones I would like to read.
1. Animal Farm by George Orwell
2. It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis
3. The Moon Is Down by John Steinbeck
4. Shameless by Brian Tyler Cohen
5. Fascism: A Warning by Madeleine Albright
6. On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
10.The Red and the Blue: The 1990s and the Birth of Political Tribalism by Steven Kornacki
11. What You Should Know About Politics. . . But Don't by Jessamyn Conrad
