Resisting the Right is a handbook for surviving a far-right take-over of the United States. Today, that prospect is a frightening reality. It threatens the irreversible destruction of America's democratic system.

In a powerful and necessary intervention, Robert Edwards urges that we prepare now for this nightmarish scenario, the better to resist and transcend it.

Edwards shows how a right-wing autocracy can be combatted using political action, civil disobedience, economics, cyberspace, traditional media, social media, the arts, and even our personal relationships.

A former US Army intelligence officer who now works as a successful screenwriter, Edwards draws on his military training to assess "the threat," and his storyteller's imagination to play out likely scenarios.

At a time when the future of American democracy teeters on a cliff edge, the urgency of Resisting the Right could not be more acute.
