The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions of innocent people dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. Albright draws on her experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that very assumption. Fascism, Albright shows, not only endured through the course of the twentieth century, but now presents a more virulent threat to peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II. The momentum toward democracy that swept the world when the Berlin Wall fell has gone into reverse. The United States, which has historically championed the free world, is led by a president who exacerbates popular divisions and heaps scorn on democratic institutions. In many countries, economic, technological, and cultural factors are weakening the political center and empowering the extremes of right and left. Contemporary leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are employing many of the same tactics used by Fascists in the 1920s and 30s. Written with wisdom by someone who has not only studied history but helped to shape it, this call to arms teaches us the lessons we must understand and the questions we must answer if we are to save ourselves from repeating the tragic errors of the past.  aMr. Farid Khamis ;17aAlbright, Madeleine Korbel.2BUEsh 7aFascismxHistory.2BUEsh 7aWorld politicsy20th century.2BUEsh 7aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty2017-2BUEsh  bBUSBOLcMay20191 aWoodward, William,d1951-  2ddc  00102ddc40708Donation-GaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-06-01eDonationl0o320.533 ALBp000047901r2025-07-15 00:00:00yBB
