A powerful warning that populism and nationalism don't suddenly appear, but creep into a country. Award-winning author and journalist Ece Temelkuran identifies the seven early warning signs of this phenomenon, which is rising globally from Eastern Europe to South America. Weaving together memoir, history, and clear-sighted political argument, the book provides the reader with the tools to recognise authoritarian tactics and take action. This work is an urgent, eloquent defence of democracy and an exploration of the insidious ideas at the core of these movements.
