On October 4, 2016, climate scientist Dr. James Hansen and his granddaughter Sophie Kivlehan discussed a critical issue: "the assumption that young people will somehow figure out a way to undo the deeds of their forebears, has crept into and spread like a cancer through UN climate scenarios."

In *Fascism: A Warning*, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright draws on her experiences and diplomatic career to provide a personal examination of Fascism's 20th-century legacy and its impact today. She defines a Fascist as one who claims to speak for a nation, disregards others' rights, and uses violence to achieve goals.

Albright argues that Fascism presents a more virulent threat now than since World War II, with global democratic momentum reversing. Economic, technological, and cultural factors empower political extremes, and contemporary leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un employ tactics reminiscent of 1920s and 30s Fascists. This timely book offers crucial lessons to prevent repeating past errors.
