A satirical novel in which Americans elect a fascist as President, who then remakes the country into a totalitarian state, complete with firing squads and concentration camps. The hero of the novel, Doremus Jessup, is a newspaper editor in the fictional Vermont town of Fort Beulah.
Unfortunately, my book club chose to read this in November 2024, as Donald Trump was re-elected President, so it felt sickeningly real. If you've got the stomach for it, let it poke holes in your complacency.
