Michael Morrall

Given the intensity of contentious, disruptive and dangerous behaviour nearly everywhere, an informed, readable, convincing look at the rise of authoritarian government is crucial reading for understanding democracy and the threats the free world, the whole world faces. The author has impeccable experience, knowledge, literary skill and shareable, readable insight. This concerns everyone, everywhere. It’s a valid, essential call to understand history, global relations, diversity and threats to our crucial but far from certain or perfect democracy. Indeed, we are confronting what the title warns will be realized if not prevented: “The Twilight of Democracy!”
