Resisting the Rightis a handbook for how to survive a right-wing autocracy in the United States. Frighteningly, that scenario looks increasingly likely.

The victory of a Republican, either Trump or another far right candidate, in the November 2024 presidential election, could be a prelude to the destruction of America's democratic system, making a subsequent change of power almost impossible.

That, Robert Edwards argues in this powerful and necessary intervention, is an eventuality for which we must prepare now.

Resisting the Rightfast forwards past the ebb and flow of daily politics to a long-range preview of life under such an autocracy. It is structured as a practical guide, setting out how such a regime can be combatted using political action, civil disobedience, economics, cyberspace, traditional media, social media, the arts, and even our personal relationships.

Edwards, a former US Army intelligence officer who now works as a successful screenwriter, draws on his military training to assess "the threat," combining it with a storyteller's imagination to play out possible senariois to their logical conclusion.

In a year when the future of America democracy teeters on a knife edge, the urgency ofResisting the Rightcould not be more acute.
