Description

Twilight of Democracy: The Failure of Politics and the Parting of Friends by Anne Applebaum In the years following the fall of the Berlin Wall, people from across the political spectrum in Europe and America celebrated a shared sense of purpose and forged personal friendships. However, over the following decades, this sense of common ground gradually disappeared, and extremism rose once more. In this thought-provoking essay, Anne Applebaum explores the history of this decline, tracing the trajectories of individuals caught up in the public events of the last three decades. Through a combination of personal and political perspectives, Applebaum sheds new light on the dynamics of public life in Europe and America, both now and in the recent past. By examining the ways in which politics became polarized and the relationships between individuals and leaders soured, Applebaum offers a fresh understanding of the challenges we face today. This book is a timely and insightful exploration of the failure of democracy and the parting of friends.
