Yascha Mounk is our most active contemporary defender of liberal democracy…a brave and important book

Mounk’s painstaking and thoroughly researched account is a revelation
Nina Power, Daily Telegraph
A powerful, timely book – both an excellent analysis and a plea for the recovery of shared values
Anne Applebaum
