Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges confronts the nation's drift into fascism and war, urging readers to remain engaged and to fight for a better future, no matter the challenges.

"Totalitarianism," writes Chris Hedges, "demands complete conformity." Cheer for the unauthorized war, obey the deployment of federal troops to squash protests, and accept obvious political corruption. Can American democracy be saved?

Written with the urgency and force of a manifesto, Resistance Is a Moral Imperative denounces those who aid and abet America's slide into fascism and champions those who, despite the risks, bravely expose our government's atrocities.

The book includes chapters on
  • The consolidation of executive power and the hollowing out of institutions such as the media, the Democratic Party, academia, and labor unions.
  • The rise of surveillance culture and the normalization of repression.
  • The folly of war with Iran
  • The killing of Charlie Kirk and the rise of political violence.
  • Jeffrey Epstein and the depravity of the rich and powerful.
  • The consequences of accelerating militarization and the routinization of assassination, civilian killings, genocide, and war.

"If we do not resist," he writes, "we succumb morally and physically to the darkness." To resist--even in small acts of solidarity and defiance--is to advance the possibility of holding power accountable and building an ethical and just society for all.
