The End of Democracy
By Naomi Wolf
pub. 2007

Within the first chapter of the book the author clarifies that she is not, in any way, comparing George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler or the Bush regime to Stalin's Russia or Pinochet's Chile. She makes it very clear that there are uncountable differences that separate 2007 U.S. with 1940's Germany. The author immediately and expectedly recounts the innumerable ways in which the Bush administration carried itself exactly like these dictatorships. Less frightening now than it would've been had I read it two years ago.
