Krátky popis
Anne Applebaum is a leading historian of communism and a
penetrating investigator of contemporary politics. Here she sets
her sights on the big question, one with which she herself has been
deeply engaged in both Europe and America: how did our democracy go
wrong? This extraordinary document, written with urgency,
intelligence and understanding, is her answer. Timothy
SnyderFriendships torn.Ideals betrayed. Alliances broken. In this,
her most personal book, a great historian explains why so many of
those who won the battles for democracy or have spent their lives
proclaiming its values are now succumbing to liars, thugs and
crooks.Analysis, reportage and memoir, Twilight of Democracy
fearlessly tells the shameful story of a political generation gone
bad. David FrumIn 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.
