Summary of Madeleine Albright's Fascism

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was born in Czechoslovakia in 1939. When I was eleven, my family escaped to the United States, where I became a typical American teenager. I ditched my European accent, read stacks of comic books, and glued my ear to a transistor radio.

#2 I was a professor of Eastern Europe, and in 1989 I watched as the decade-long demands of dockworkers and the inspiration of a pope born in Wadowice brought democratic governance to Poland. In October, Hungary became a democratic republic, and in early November the Berlin Wall was breached.

#3 Trump’s presidency has severely damaged American democracy, and he has done so by attacking the very institutions that make up democracy. He has degraded political discourse in the United States, shown an utter disregard for facts, and libeled his predecessors.

#4 Trump’s goal of putting America first is not the issue. The issue is his conception of how America’s interests are best advanced, which is grounded in his life experience of seeing every country as intent on dominating every other.
