Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering demagogue runs for President of the United States - and wins. Lewis's chilling, and yet prescient bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, a 'Professional Common Man', who promises the countries poor, angry voters that he will make America great again, but whose actions end up taking the country down a far darker path. As the new regime slides into authoritarianism, newspaper editor Doremus Jessup can't believe it will last - but is he right? What was once just a cautionary tale of liberal complacency in the face of populist tyranny, shows many signs of coming to pass just a few decades later.
