An account of how autocracies work together to undermine the democratic world, and how we should organize to defeat them.
What The Reviewers Say
Applebaum rightly places kleptocratic institutionalized thievery at the center of her analysis.
Applebaum is cleareyed about the difficulties of rectifying this situation.
Applebaum is strong on how Western misjudgment and greed enabled and empowered autocrats over the decades.
Modest in scale. It’s less a work of scholarship than the kind of tightly argued, crisply written policy brief Washington insiders might flip through on their charter flights to Aspen.
