Hello comrades and friends! I've gotten back into reading and I've been buying books about fascism, because of the political climate. I've picked up a few books, like

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Cradles of the Reich by Jen Coburn The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

I know they aren't strictly anarchist, but they do talk about fascism/authoritarianism. Could you recommend me some books about anarchism as well as more books on fascism? I prefer fiction, but will read non-fiction as well.

This is non-fiction, and Marxist, rather than Anarchist, but Blackshirts and Reds, specifically the first chapter, is an excellent overview of fascism. I recommend sticking with it, though, to the end.

If you strictly want Anarchist and fiction, The Disposessed by Ursula K Le Guin is good.
