It Can't Happen Here

The subject matter is fascism in the U.S., as told by someone writing in the mid-30s. As a story, and the main subject of the book both are interesting enough and the book seems fairly realistic if a little jaunty about people facing life and death.

The reason I don't give it full marks is the writing style was difficult for me to parse and keep coherent. I'm fairly well-versed in history and I still didn't understand a good chunk of the references and asides.

Given the time we're living in now, looking at the government converting to more authoritarian rule is quite interesting. But the read was quite a slog.
