<p><b>'A gripping and illuminating picture of how strongmen have deployed violence, seduction, and corruption' </b>Daniel Ziblatt, co-author of <i>How Democracies Die</i><br><b><br>'A timely analysis of how a certain kind of charisma delivers political disaster' </b>Timothy Snyder, author of<i> On Tyranny</i><br><br>Ours is the age of the strongman. Trump. Putin. Modi: they are reshaping their countries around them. <br><br>By drawing on a playbook established by figures such as Benito Mussolini, Muammar Gaddafi and Adolf Hitler, today's strongmen have created cults of personality that have drawn the loyal support of millions. But why - despite the evidence of history - do they hold such appeal?<br><br><i>Strongmen </i>explains how these figures manipulate our fears and desires in pursuit of power at any cost. A fierce and perceptive history, it provides a vital understanding of the forces that seek to derail democracy and seize our rights - an dhow to combat them.</p>
