As liberal democracy wavers, a new tide of nationalism and authoritarianism floods the West. Pulitzer-winning historian Anne Applebaum dissects this alarming shift, laying bare the lure of simplistic, exclusionary political systems. With electrifying clarity, she reveals how the loyal are rewarded while everyone else is left behind. Elegantly argued and urgently relevant, Twilight of Democracy sounds the alarm on democracy's fragile future.
