Written long after his critically successful Main Street and Babbit, It Can't Happen Here recaptures some of the fire missing in most of Lewis' late work.
Written in response to the facist wave sweeping Europe, Lewis deals with the facist movement in America in the 1930's, and extrapolates the political rumblings of the time to a facist American state. To anyone who believes that the blessings of liberty are an inalienable right, the book serves as a wakeup call that democracy takes work, and vigilance. The rights we enjoy are all too easily eroded, often so slowly that we don't realize what we have lost until it is too late.
