Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change

Fierce, funny, and controversial, Jonah Goldberg'\u0027s #1 New York Times bestseller traces fascism back to its surprising roots--in liberalism. "Fascists," "Brownshirts," "jackbooted stormtroopers"—such are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents.

Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale.

But who are the real fascists in our midst? Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics.

Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler'\u0027s National Socialism and Mussolini'\u0027s Fascism.
