A FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST AND NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR
2020'The most important non-fiction book of the year' David HareIn
the years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, people
from across the political spectrum in Europe and America celebrated
a great achievement, felt a common purpose and, very often, forged
personal friendships. Yet over the following decades the euphoria
evaporated, the common purpose and centre ground gradually
disappeared, extremism rose once more and eventually - as this book
compellingly relates - the relationships soured too. Anne Applebaum
traces this history in an unfamiliar way, looking at the
trajectories of individuals caught up in the public events of the
last three decades.When politics becomes polarized, which side do
you back? If you are a journalist, an intellectual, a civic leader,
how do you deal with the re-emergence of authoritarian or
nationalist ideas in your country? When your leaders appropriate
history, or pedal conspiracies, or eviscerate the media and the
judiciary, do you go along with it?Twilight of Democracy is an
essay that combines the personal and the political in an original
way and brings a fresh understanding to the dynamics of public life
in Europe and America, both now and in the recent past.
