Colleges should require all 3 for learning about the past and current dangers to our Democracy. They paint a picture of our country that no whitewashed textbooks will fully cover. Teach your children well!
Particularly Heather Cox Richardson; anything by her is a treat to read. And while they are not about the US in particular, look into Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s work on strongmen. It is mostly based on Italy (and Mussolini) but you can see how it happened there and how it correlates to us.
Thanks for these great reading recommendations!
