Sinclair Lewis's chilling  1935 bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, 'Professional Common Man',  who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and  prosperous once more, but takes the country down a far darker path. As  the new regime slides into authoritarianism, newspaper editor Doremus  Jessup can't believe it will last - but is he right? This cautionary  tale of liberal complacency in the face of populist tyranny shows it  really can happen here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSinclair Lewis was born in 1885 in Minnesota.
