The Despot's Apprentice

This book delves into Donald Trump's increasing use of authoritarian tactics that undermine American democracy. Drawing from his experiences with world dictators, an ex-US campaign advisor explains how Trump's attacks on the press and nepotism in the White House are borrowed tactics from those despots. Through his obsession with military and cult of personality, Trump poses a unique threat to democratic government, not just in the US but also globally. This book explores how Trump promotes some of the world's worst regimes, and how to save democracy from his influence.
