It Can't Happen Here
Sinclair Lewis
This cautionary novel explores the frightening possibility of fascism taking hold in America, told through the rise of a president turned dictator. Written at the height of the Great Depression, the story combines sharp political satire with a chillingly realistic portrayal of a democracy on the brink. It remains a shockingly prescient tale, with themes that feel eerily contemporary even today.

This book is phenomenally prescient. It should be read in tandem with Lewis’ It Can’t Happen Here, with Thurber’s short story, “The Greatest Man in the World” as a palate cleanser. – source
