Description
This nonfiction book examines the weakening of liberal democracy and the return of authoritarian and fascist ideas. Vladimir Putin has consolidated his position, while Russia wages cyberwar in Europe and the United States and uses alliances with nationalists, radicals and oligarchs to undermine confidence in democratic institutions. Timothy Snyder explores the forces behind Brexit, Donald Trump, the rise of populism and the growing vulnerability of Western society. Drawing on extensive research and recent events in Russia, Ukraine, the USA and Europe, he explains the dangers ahead and why traditional political virtues matter. The book considers the choices facing society: equality or oligarchy, individuality or totalitarianism, truth or lies. This account of the rise of authoritarianism goes deeper than newspaper headlines and offers a way out of widespread uncertainty.
