In "Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism", Anne Applebaum examines the alarming rise of authoritarianism across the world. She draws upon her personal experiences and those of her colleagues, friends, and acquaintances, who have taken different paths in their political beliefs. The book explores the challenges facing liberal democracies and the erosion of public trust in institutions and the media. Applebaum analyzes the common patterns and tactics used by authoritarians to gain and maintain power and argues that the seductive lure of authoritarianism undermines democracy. She calls on citizens and leaders alike to protect the norms and principles that sustain democratic societies, to recognize the danger of populism, and to support liberal democracy as the best way to ensure the rights and freedoms of all.
