I haven't read the book, nor did I know it existed. I will get one and read.
I've maintained, however, that during the rise of Nazi Germany in the twenties and thirties, the speeches made by Hitler, Goebles, Himmler and his minions would be interesting to read and consider if you are hearing them again.
Germany was created after WWI and look what a devastating effect it had on the world. No one was courageous enough to listen the Winston Churchill. They all wanted peace at any cost. Some peace. The same will happen if we appease the Arab Terrorists. It is so similar, it's scary.

Sounds like a good book, as well as a timely one. I’ve been a big fan of the Internet Archive for quite a while, and this reminds me of something I found there not too long ago. I was on a tear, enjoying stick footage movies (a neat way to travel in time, as it were). One is about Italy under fascism, narrated by Lowell Thomas, and rather sympathetic to the fascists. See here: http://archive.org/details/AFP-80D_Mussolini_Speaks_Pt5

Once, our predecessors thought well of (at least) the ability of people like the fascists to get things done. This was a surface view, not universal but noted, and well before the evil was unavoidable, outside of men like Mr. Churchill.

Modern Germany was created when Bavaria and other small German states merged with Prussia in 1871. A republican government emerged after the monarchy was toppled in 1918.

In my freshman year of college,before I went into WWII service, I took a course on ‘Contemporary Literature’. Subject matter included discussion and reading of works by Lippmann, Hitler, Mussolini, Chase, and others especially communists such as Marx and Lenin. This was a time of world turmoil with all kinds of groups in the USA each promoting their own brand of society/government. The Professor, who was known to be left leaning, had a question on the final exam to define propaganda. My answer very pointedly was the stuff he had us reading and discussing especially as to communism. I recall he commented that my answer was unique but I got an A for the course.
