    My new book, Fascism: A Warning, is available for pre-order now and will be released on April 10. I wrote this call to action because history has taught us that, when looms, we have a duty to stand up and speak out. 1/6

    PS – The pin I’m wearing today depicts Mercury, the Roman god of messages. More than any other book I’ve written, has an urgent message for the reader about the need to defend democratic principles. I hope it is heeded. 6/6

    I know what the stakes are, and I’m determined to use my voice to warn against the dangers to freedom that we see. In the face of or Fascist tendencies, silence isn’t a responsible option. 5/6

    This book is personal. As a child, I fled the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia. After the war, Communists drove my family into exile. Later, as UN Ambassador and Secretary of State, I confronted dictators. Since then, I’ve stayed involved in the fight for democracy. 4/6

    To counter , U.S. leadership is needed, but foreign autocrats today often justify their repression by pointing to the American president's own words. That is a disgrace. For democracy to survive, it must be defended. If lies are to stop, they must be exposed. 3/6

    70 years ago today a communist coup destroyed democracy in my native Czechoslovakia. The coup forced my family into exile, and months later we were welcomed as refugees in the USA. Ever since I’ve been a grateful American, and I’ve learned to never take democracy for granted.

    It’s a good thing Devin Nunes is not taking my course on national security decision making. I expect my students’ written work to be compelling, accurate, and unbiased. By those standards, I would have to give him an F. Let’s hope his constituents do the same in November.
