I'm late reading this book, but it rings several bells in the aftermath of Donald Trump's rise to power in the United States. Are we seeing the advent of another Hitler? It's hard to ignore the obvious parallels, and I hope that the American people will be brave enough to stop him if he moves any further toward dictatorship. People in the 1930s ignored Ambassador Dodd's warnings. I hope we don't repeat that mistake.
