Jill Abramson, Harvard: 'The Paranoid Style in American Politics,' by Richard Hofstadter
Abramson, a former executive editor of The New York Times and current Harvard English lecturer, recommends students read Richard Hofstadter's "The Paranoid Style in American Politics," first published in 1964.
Abramson says the book is "everything you need to know about the root of Donald Trump's rhetoric and fake news."
