Forgetfulness

Fiction

“Never again, the world agreed. Never again would we fall for the promises of a strongman to ‘fix this country,’ or listen to his frenzied followers declaring him God’s appointed ruler while methodically papering over truth with lies. That is, as Richard Reitsma deftly shows, what led to World War II, though not everyone saw it at the time. And it is the climate we’re living in now, though not everyone sees it that way. What other lessons might be found in Forgetfulness for today? Read Reitsma’s book to find out.”
