Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning will be available January 8, and the NRO Book Store is ready to take your pre-order of Jonah Goldberg’s so-far critically praised take on the Left’s dirty secret. Even liberal industry bible Publishers Weekly says Liberal Fascism is a “provocative and well-researched book . . . shocking and hilarious. . . . readers may be stopped cold by the parallels Goldberg draws between Nazi Germany and the New Deal. . . . the controversial arc Goldberg draws from Mussolini to The Matrix is well-researched, seriously argued—and funny.” Sounds like it will have been worth the wait. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what acclaimed author Tom Wolfe says about Jonah and LF:

In the greatest hoax of modern history, Russia’s ruling “socialist workers party,” the Communists, established themselves as the polar opposites of their two socialist clones, the National Socialist German Workers Party (quicknamed “the Nazis”) and Italy’s Marxist-inspired Fascisti, by branding both as “the fascists.” Jonah Goldberg is the first historian to detail the havoc this spin of all spins has played upon Western thought for the past 75 years, very much including the present moment. Love it or loathe it, “Liberal Fascism” is a book of intellectual history you won’t be able to put down―in either sense of the term.
