Summary
Author and journalist Joe Conason has a new book out called The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism, which tells the harrowing story of how 70 years of scams and propaganda has dragged us so dangerously close to authoritarian fascism. It's such an important volume for many reasons, especially because it provided context in a time when people tend to forget the past.
