This book is a whole section of history you've never known. Some of the things I once believed have been turned on their head. Mussolini has long been attributed to being the first fascist, but he actually followed in the footsteps of our very own Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was a progressive. As Wilson put it, The essence of Progressivism was that the individual "marry his interests to the state." Totalitarianism in other words. If that isn't fascism I don't know what it is. And guess who actually coined the word Totalitarianism, thats right, Mussolini. Now we have Hillary calling herself a "Modern Progressive." One of the very few times when her true self showed through the facade. This book will enlighten and enrage you at times. Especially if you have liberal tendencies. Libs if you want to know where your ideas, and their results, came from; read this book.

---------------Woodrow Wilson
"We must demand that the individual shall be willing to lose the sense of personal achievement, and shall be content to realize his activity only in connection to the activity of the many."
