ABOUT THE BOOK

We are in a new era: authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global
politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in capitals as diverse
as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh and Washington.
These leaders are nationalists and social conservatives, with little tolerance for
minorities, dissent or the interests of foreigners. At home, they claim to be standing
up for ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they posture as the
embodiments of their nations. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of
personality. What's more, these leaders are not just operating in authoritarian
political systems but have begun to emerge in the heartlands of liberal democracy.
