Amazingly prophetic story about an American president who leads the country down the path of fascism. This book was written in 1935 during the rise of Hitler and Mussolini. It's mostly seen thru the eyes of a newspaper editor, and gives an educational view of attitudes during the Depression. Communism and socialism are trying to take foothold in America as people look for scapegoats and solutions to the horrors of the Depression. The story is prophetic because of the parallels to the Trump administration. I gave it 4 stars because there were times it was too predictable, and other times when it appeared to be rushing thru events just to reach the end. Otherwise, a very prescient tale worth reading.
