I bought this book around the time I bought my copy of Fire and Fury; but Fire and Fury's style and content left a bad taste in my mouth and I left this book on the coffee table for a couple of months. I finally picked it up last week.
Ms. Albright gives a history of fascism starting with WW1. Hitler and Mussolini both get their own chapters. Ms. Albright takes us all the way to the present day, discussing Putin's Russia and Kim Jong Un's North Korea along the way. Her own personal history is linked with fascism's rise in Europe and she talks about being an immigrant in the US after WW2.
This book was a critical piece in my world history education. I learned about the Marshall Plan, and understand more deeply the importance of NATO.
I recommend this book.
