The Good Life: Helen and Scott Nearing's Sixty Years of Self-Sufficient Living

It Can’t Happen Here

Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press.
