Quote:NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "How did our demacy go wrong? This extraordinary document ... is Applebaum's answer." -Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny

The Pulitzer Prize-winning historian explains, with electrifying clarity, why elites in demacies around the world are turning toward nationalism and authoritarianism.

From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal demacy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Demacy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidematic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autacy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else. Elegantly written and urgently argued, Twilight of Demacy is a brilliant dissection of a world-shaking shift and a stirring glimpse of the road back to dematic values.
