Review Roundup
How Fascism Works by Jason Stanley offers a compelling analysis of fascist tactics, exploring historical and contemporary examples. Readers appreciate its clear prose and timely relevance but note occasional repetitiveness and a U.S.-centric perspective. Despite these issues, it serves as a crucial primer on recognizing and combating modern authoritarianism.
Who Should Read How Fascism Works?
An ideal reader for Jason Stanley's How Fascism Works would have a keen interest in political science, contemporary history, and the mechanics of authoritarianism. Comparable to readers of Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny and Madeleine Albright's Fascism: A Warning, they seek to understand the warning signs and societal impacts of fascist ideologies.
