A New York Times #1 Bestseller, Liberal Fascism traces fascism back to its surprising roots - in liberalism.

Since the rise and fall of the Nazis, fascism has been seen as an extreme right-wing phenomenon. But who are the real fascists today? Liberal Fascism exposes the shocking links between the fascism of Mussolini and Hitler and modern-day liberalism. Covering such hot issues as morality, science versus religion, health care, and cultural values, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that fascism was born on the left - and that today's left retains a disturbing family resemblance. In fact, the modern heirs of this dictatorial doctrine include the New York Times, the liberals of Hollywood, and the Democratic Party. Now, in a smart new afterword, Goldberg takes account of Barack Obama and his "politics of change," showing that the new president's ideas aren't so new after all and that liberal fascism is alive and well in the age of Barack.
