Book Synopsis It Could Happen Here by : Jonathan Greenblatt

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Refreshingly candid . . . Get off Instagram and read this book.” —Sacha Baron Cohen From the dynamic head of ADL, an impassioned argument about the terrifying path that America finds itself on today—and how we can save ourselves. It’s almost impossible to imagine that unbridled hate and systematic violence could come for us or our families. But it has happened in our lifetimes in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. And it could happen here. Today, as CEO of the storied ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), Jonathan Greenblatt has made it his personal mission to demonstrate how antisemitism, racism, and other insidious forms of intolerance can destroy a society, taking root as quiet prejudices but mutating over time into horrific acts of brutality. In this urgent book, Greenblatt sounds an alarm, warning that this age-old trend is gathering momentum in the United States—and that violence on an even larger, more catastrophic scale could be just around the corner. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Drawing on ADL’s decades of experience in fighting hate through investigative research, education programs, and legislative victories as well as his own personal story and his background in business and government, Greenblatt offers a bracing primer on how we—as individuals, as organizations, and as a society—can strike back against hate. Just because it could happen here, he shows, does not mean that the unthinkable is inevitable.

Book Synopsis It Can't Happen Here by : Sinclair Lewis
Download or read book It Can't Happen Here written by Sinclair Lewis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s authoritarian appeal.”—Salon It Can’t Happen Here is the only one of Sinclair Lewis’s later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called “a message to thinking Americans” by the Springfield Republican when it was published in 1935, It Can’t Happen Here is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today’s news. Includes an Introduction by Michael Meyer and an Afterword by Gary Scharnhorst

Book excerpt: Craig McPherson lives a mundane life. He's a family man who owns an oil company, and he spends most of his days bored and dissatisfied. But fate has something else in mind. Seemingly without reason, Craig gets pulled into a tragic murder-suicide investigation. The murder-suicide has nothing to do with Craig and his company ... or does it ? Soon, he finds himself caught between two foreign oil cartels, both competing for his company and his expertise. Like a marionette controlled by unseen hands, Craig is yanked back and forth in a struggle for power. The cartels are fighting for ownership of the world's oil supply-a direct threat to the United States-and Craig is standing in their way. In order to survive, he must join the fight, risking his own life and the lives of his family. But Craig McPherson isn't a soldier or a terrorist. He's a regular guy, living a regular life, who must now use his intellect to save his family from certain death and the United States from unfriendly domination. He must conceive a plan to trap his adversaries and beat them at their own game-using himself as bait. Suddenly, Craig's mundane life as a CEO and father doesn't seem so awful.

Book Synopsis It Can Happen Here by : Todd "Skippy" Conroy
Download or read book It Can Happen Here written by Todd "Skippy" Conroy and published by No Pledge Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book that has become a cult hit. The breath-taking revelations center on a young boy's opposition to authoritarianism and his subsequent struggle against it to foment rebellion. It is written in the ground-breaking new style of an alternate history book within a police state. The teenager lives in a world where infants are numbered as soon as they are born. The numbers are used to track and control everyone from cradle to grave, and to expropriate them continuously. The bloated government brainwashes each child for more than a decade. Small children are trained to perform bizarre rituals en masse and on command. The indoctrination is so intense that adults continue to perform in a knee-jerk manner on cue for their entire lives. A frightening book written for frightening times. A tale about the fragility of freedom, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. It juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of authoritarianism. It is a shockingly prescient novel in terms that are as fresh and contemporary as today's news. With references to actual historical events and people, the book will have readers wondering which parts are true and which parts aren't. It debunks Sinclair Lewis' book "It Can't Happen Here." "Do you dare peek inside the twisted noggin of researcher Dr. Rex Curry? The author Todd Conroy lifts the doctor's lid. A glimpse will change you forever. When you are done exploring, will your life return to boring?" - Tumbling Pebble Magazine
Book Synopsis It Can Happen Here by : Alexander Laban Hinton
Download or read book It Can Happen Here written by Alexander Laban Hinton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A renowned expert on genocide argues that there is a real risk of violent atrocities happening in the United States If many people were shocked by Donald Trump’s 2016 election, many more were stunned when, months later, white supremacists took to the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, chanting “Blood and Soil” and “Jews will not replace us!” Like Trump, the Charlottesville marchers were dismissed as aberrations—crazed extremists who did not represent the real US. It Can Happen Here demonstrates that, rather than being exceptional, such white power extremism and the violent atrocities linked to it are a part of American history. And, alarmingly, they remain a very real threat to the US today. Alexander Hinton explains how murky politics, structural racism, the promotion of American exceptionalism, and a belief that the US has have achieved a color-blind society have diverted attention from the deep roots of white supremacist violence in the US’s brutal past. Drawing on his years of research and teaching on mass violence, Hinton details the warning signs of impending genocide and atrocity crimes, the tools used by ideologues to fan the flames of hate, the origins of the far-right extremist ideas of white genocide and replacement, and the shocking ways in which “us” versus “them” violence is supported by racist institutions and policies. It Can Happen Here is an essential new assessment of the dangers of contemporary white power extremism in the United States. While revealing the threat of genocide and atrocity crimes that loom over the country, Hinton offers actions we can take to prevent it from happening, illuminating a hopeful path forward for a nation in crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I left her room and went to bed. I lay next to David, but we did not speak. There were no words to describe the pain we were in. I thought about the day that had begun so pleasurably and ended so painfully. Even so, I thanked God for the blessings in my life, as I did every night. I asked Him to watch over Candice and provide her with the help she needed. We had not been able to give her what she required. Nothing had worked as we had hoped. I am glad I didnt know then how tragically her storyand ourswould end. What had happened to Candice, and where did it all begin? This is the story of an ordinary family struggling with an extraordinary problem: a special child whose journey was hijacked by teenage drug use. Candice Doucette was a beautiful and well-loved young girl with many friends and talents and supportive parents. What happened to her and her family can happen to any family. In this memoir, her mother candidly shares her experience, in hopes that other parents will find this book a resource as they strive to answer the recurring question, What can we do? And now, nine years later, Cynthia writes an epilogue to give the reader insight into her life today. How through her enduring loss of her daughter, she has finally found whats most important: her peace. Cynthia Doucettes compelling memoir shares such deep, intense, emotional family struggles and triumphs. The connection I felt with Cynthia and her daughter, Candice was unreal. It felt as though Candices spirit was with me as I read her life story. Candice spoke through the words of her mother. I could feel Candices happiness, her depression, her pain, and her anger. In this story of her tragic death and the wonderful family she left behind, I found myself becoming a part of the Doucette family, as I can relate to the emotional roller coasters theyve endured. Cynthias outlook on her familys ups and downs is so real and by far one of the most amazing stories Ive ever read. Cynthia is an inspirational author, a role model, a woman who had enough faith, love and strength to put her familys story out for the world. She sacrificed her and her familys privacy to help others in need of answers and guidance in times of crisis. This book clearly proves that this can happen to any family. -Rebecca Batchelder-

Download or read book Mary Poppins written by Brian Sibley and published by Disney Editions. This book was released on 2007-12-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two veteran writers collaborate on this fascinating behind-the-scenes account of the journey that took the “practically perfect” nanny from the pages of P. L. Travers’s beloved novels to the stage. Well-known British writer and radio personality Brian Sibley tells Mary Poppins’s story, from her obscure origins in Travers’s Australian childhood and her progress through the series of books Travers began to write in 1934, to her incarnation by Julie Andrews in one of the most successful Disney films of all time, to her long-awaited landing onstage in London’s West End. A long-time friend of Travers and co-writer with her of an unproduced sequel to the film, Sibley offers unique insights into the idiosyncratic author’s complex relationship to her heroine, and the decades-long series of proposals and negotiations that finally resulted in Disney Theatrical Productions joining forces with the Cameron Mackintosh Theatrical Group to realize Travers’s stories as a spectacular work of musical theater. Sibley’s details the entire development process of the show’s script, music, choreography, and design, culminating in a glorious opening night on December 15, 2004 in London’s Prince Edward’s Theatre, as Mary Poppins is met by cheering sold-out houses and critical raves. In the book’s second half, Michael Lassell gives a fascinating backstage account of the show’s transfer to Broadway, including the show’s American casting and important changes to its book, lyrics, and designs, as the creative team strives to “plus” Poppins to perfection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't expect when you get married for the first time that it would end in such a way as mine did. I went from being this blushing bride and this awesome newlywed wife to a guy who I thought was my heaven sent to a woman that felt damaged, scorned, and abused. When I found out I was pregnant I was excited and that quickly ended Nov 21, 2007. Numb is the only word to describe how I felt when the doctor said to me that I was HIV Positive. I was a new bride, newly pregnant and newly infected. All by my husband. You think you know everything there is to know about someone before you marry them only to find out it was all hidden and you were being fed lies. Never once did I think I was going to die. The only fear I had for my future was rejection and that still didn't stop me from being open about my status from the beginning and sharing my story with the world.
