Product Information

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author, professor, and historian offers an expert guide to understanding the appeal of the strongman as a leader and an explanation for why authoritarianism is back with a menacing twenty-first-century twist. Across the world today, from the Americas to Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege while populism and nationalism are on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum offers an unexpected explanation: that there is a deep and inherent appeal to authoritarianism, strongmen, and, especially, one-party rule--that is, to political systems that benefit true believers, or loyal soldiers, or simply the friends and distant cousins of the leader, to the exclusion of everyone else. People, she argues, are not just ideological; they are also practical, pragmatic, opportunist. They worry about their families, their houses, their careers. Some political systems offer them possibilities and others don't. In particular, the modern authoritarian parties that have arisen within democracies today offer the possibility of success to people who do not thrive in the meritocratic, democratic, or free-market competition that determines access to wealth and power. Drawing on reporting in Spain, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, and Brazil; using historical examples including Stalinist central Europe and Nazi Germany; and investigating related phenomena (the modern conspiracy theory, nostalgia for a golden past, political polarization, and meritocracy and its discontents), Anne Applebaum brilliantly illuminates the seduction of totalitarian thinking and the eternal appeal of the one-party state.

Reviews
"Anne Applebaum is a leading historian of communism and a penetrating investigator of contemporary politics. Here she sets her sights on the big question, one with which she herself has been deeply engaged in both Europe and America: How did our democracy go wrong? This extraordinary document, written with urgency, intelligence, and understanding, is her answer." --Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny "Friendships torn. Ideals betrayed. Alliances broken. In this, her most personal book, a great historian explains why so many of those who won the battles for democracy or have spent their lives proclaiming its values are now succumbing to liars, thugs, and crooks. Analysis, reportage, and memoir, Twilight of Democracy fearlessly tells the shameful story of a political generation gone bad." --David Frum, author of Trumpocracy and Trumpocalypse, "The book to buy for insight into what Trump's rise and rule really mean--here and abroad--for democracy in our time." --Ron Elving, NPR "Applebaum's historical expertise and knowledge of contemporary Europe and the United States illuminate what is eternal and distinctive about the political perils facing us today . . . Twilight of Democracy offers many lessons on the long-standing struggle between democracy and dictatorship. But perhaps the most important is how fragile democracy is: Its survival depends on choices made every day by elites and ordinary people." --Sheri Berman, Washington Post "Anne Applebaum is a leading historian of communism and a penetrating investigator of contemporary politics. Here she sets her sights on the big question, one with which she herself has been deeply engaged in both Europe and America: How did our democracy go wrong? This extraordinary document, written with urgency, intelligence, and understanding, is her answer." --Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny "Friendships torn. Ideals betrayed. Alliances broken.

Analysis, reportage, and memoir, Twilight of Democracy fearlessly tells the shameful story of a political generation gone bad." --David Frum, author of Trumpocracy and Trumpocalypse "Critically important for its muscular, oppositionist attack on the new right from within conservative ranks--and for the well-documented warning it embodies. Applebaum's views are especially welcome because she is a deliberate thinker and astute observer rather than just the latest pundit or politico . . . A knowledgeable, rational, necessarily dark take on dark realities." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Thought-provoking and gracefully written." --Gabriel Schoenfeld, The American Interest, "The book to buy for insight into what Trump's rise and rule really mean--here and abroad--for democracy in our time." --Ron Elving, NPR "Applebaum's historical expertise and knowledge of contemporary Europe and the United States illuminate what is eternal and distinctive about the political perils facing us today . . .

But perhaps the most important is how fragile democracy is: Its survival depends on choices made every day by elites and ordinary people." --Sheri Berman, Washington Post "An often sobering, sometimes shocking, but never despairing account of the rise of authoritarianism in the West." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "Anne Applebaum is a leading historian of communism and a penetrating investigator of contemporary politics.
