Hello comrades and friends! I've gotten back into reading and I've been buying books about fascism, because of the political climate. I've picked up a few books, like

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Cradles of the Reich by Jen Coburn The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

I know they aren't strictly anarchist, but they do talk about fascism/authoritarianism. Could you recommend me some books about anarchism as well as more books on fascism? I prefer fiction, but will read non-fiction as well.

Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti is one of the best books about fascism.

Georgi Dimitrov is also highly worth reading regarding fascism. The Fascist Offensive and the Unity of the Working Class especially so.
