It says a lot about our times that writing a book with this title would have meant mostly historical research. Now someone like Stanley only needs to look around and observe everyday politics and life in any western society and many places elsewhere. There's little new here to people with rudimentary knowledge of European history, but what is said is packaged really well into an accessible and important statement. Most importantly, Stanley does not shy away from calling fascists what they are. That is a rare commodity in today's media landscape.
