It scrutinizes the erosion of democracy and the surge of right-wing populist politics with authoritarian leanings, with a spotlight on Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize laureate, presents an insightful explanation for the attraction of authoritarianism and single-party rule. She posits that such political structures favor staunch believers, loyal followers, or even the Leader’s friends and distant relatives, to the detriment of all others.
