For September, the group will read and discuss former U.S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s recent work Fascism: A Warning. The call number is 320.53309 Al. Albright draws on her own experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to get us thinking about how and why fascist ideas spread and how we can avoid repeating the mistakes of history across the globe.
