Tyranny from Plato to Trump

Fools, Sycophants, and Citizens

Beschreibung

Power grabs, partisan stand-offs, propaganda, and riots make for tantalizing fiction, but the US seems to have devolved into a land that celebrates real-life dictators. Applying historical lessons to contemporary events, Fiala uses the history of tyranny to reveal how we can safeguard against the draw of idealogues and their sycophants.
