On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy SnyderMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Short, well written and researched primer on fascism in relation to modern politics (particularly the 2016 US Election) and how easily and quickly it can spread through complacency, power and fear.
What stands it up above the other articles written on the subject since Trump's victory is that it suggests some methods of resistance in a clearly structured way - everyone should read this.
There's some definite parallels with the current political situation in the UK - "People who assure you that you can only gain security at the price of liberty usually want to deny you both"
