The Age of the Strongman: How the Cult of the Leader Threatens Democracy around the World

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this brilliant and profoundly alarming book. Strongman leaders, Rachman suggests, tend to be pretty useless at leading. Rachman offers a “sharp analysis” of the strategies authoritarians have used to hold onto power – typically a combination of media manipulation, rigged elections, and populist rhetoric that positions them on the side of “ordinary people” against sinister global elites. Highly recommended!
