About this product
Product Information
The Pulitzer prize-winning historian and journalist anatomises the personal and ideological dimensions of the current appeal of authoritarian regimes. In the years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, conservative politicians and intellectuals across Europe and America celebrated a great achievement, felt a common purpose and, very often, forged personal friendships. The euphoria quickly evaporated, the common purpose and centre ground gradually disappeared and eventually - as this book compellingly relates - the relationships soured too. Anne Applebaum traces a familiar history in an unfamiliar way, looking at the trajectories of individuals caught up in the public events of the last three decades. When politics become polarized, which side do you back? If you are a journalist, an intellectual, a civic leader, how do you deal with the re-emergence of authoritarian or nationalist ideas in your country? When your leaders appropriate history, or pedal conspiracies, or eviscerate the media and the judiciary, do you go along with it? Twilight of Democracy is a new kind of political writing, an essay that mixes the personal and the political and brings a fresh understanding to the dynamics of public life in Europe and America, both now and in the past.Product Identifiers

There is a future, don’t despair.
This book Explained the political declines but not despairing for the future, she remains confident that young people are showing greater tolerance of diversity and inequality. Clearly based on her observations we need to be on our guard to support balanced opinion and challenge extremism wherever or whenever it may arise.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
