How to Lose a Country - The 7 Steps from Democracy to Fascism

How to Lose a Country is an impassioned plea, a warning to the world that populism and nationalism don''t march fully-formed into government; they creep. Award winning author and journalist Ece Temelkuran identifies the early-warning signs of this phenomenon, sprouting up across the world from Eastern Europe to South America, in order to define a global pattern and arm the reader with the tools to root it out. Proposing alternative answers to the pressing - and too often paralysing - poltical questions of our time, Temelkuran explores the insidious ideas at the core of these movements by weaving memoir, history and clear-sighted argument into an urgent and eloquent defence of democracy.
