Fascism: A Warning

"Fascism: A Warning" by Madeleine Albright examines the dangers of authoritarian, nationalist regimes that prioritize state power over individual rights. Fascism often involves strong central leadership, suppression of dissent, militarism, and a belief in racial or national superiority. The book warns of history repeating itself when societies ignore warning signs, such as rising intolerance and erosion of democratic norms. Albright seeks to educate readers on how fascist regimes emerge and the importance of defending democratic values to prevent future tyranny. The book emphasizes vigilance and the need to preserve human rights and pluralism.
