Allison & Busby Repeat: A Warning from History

Are we seeing history repeat itself?An urgent, surprising and altogether persuasive read, Repeat: A Warning from History will open your eyes.We live in an age that seems eerily familiar. A time of dictators, populists, organised lying, European wars, grabs for territory, ideological extremism and antisemitism. A time when things are falling apart and the centre is struggling to hold. The insurrection on the Capitol in January 2021 evoked chilling memories of the calamity of Hitler in the 1920s and 30s. The world needs to learn the lessons of these decades, and fast. Dennis Glover retells the story of the interwar years in a series of lessons drawn from unfolding events and the unheeded omens of those who spoke out but were ignored. As one of Australia's most respected commentators in both politics and business, Glover's much heralded Repeat is his persuasive and fascinating account of how the chaos of the 1930s may return again, unless we heed their clear lessons and warnings . As widespread right-wing populism enjoys its strongest position in decades, Glover's Repeat provides an urgent insight into current affairs and politics on a global scale. While a pithy diatribe to save us from political extremism, Glover writes with the general accessibility and gripping argument which he brought to his decades of media pieces - a combination of Anne Applebaum's rigour with Rory Stewart's popular touch.
