FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Love it or loathe it, Liberal Fascism is a book of intellectual history you wont be able to put down - in either sense of the term Tom WolfeToday the word fascist is usually an insult aimed at those on the right, from neocons to big business. But what does it really mean? What if the true heirs to fascism were actually those who thought of themselves as being terribly nice and progressive - the liberals?Jonah Goldbergs excoriating, opinion-driving, US bestseller explains why. Here he destroys long-held myths to reveal why the most insidious attemps to control our lives originate from the left, whether its smoking bans or security cameras. Journeying through history and across culture, he uses surprising examples ranging from Woodrow Wilsons police state to the Clinton personality cult, the military chic of 60s student radicals to Hollywoods totalitarian aesthetics, to show that it is modern progressivism - and not conservatism - that shares the same intellectual roots as fascism.This angry, funny, smart and contentious book looks behind the friendly face of the well-meaning liberal, and turns our preconceptions inside out. Notes An angry, funny, smart and contentious book that looks behind the friendly face of the well-meaning liberal, and turns our preconceptions inside out.
