[sweetroxie]

Here are some reviews:
"A thorough and thought-provoking primer on the threat to democracy posed by—and I can't believe I'm saying this—the current president of the United States."—David Litt, New York Times bestselling author of Thanks, Obama: My Hopey Changey White House Years

"Thanks goodness for Brian Klaas. At a moment of unprecedented political crisis for the United States, he's one of the very few experts to offer a much-needed global perspective on the Trump phenomenon. Trump, he shows, is less of an exception than part of an ominous global trend: disillusionment with democracy. A sharp-sighted and urgently needed book."—Christian Caryl, editor of DemocracyPost at the Washington Post and author of Strage Rebels

"Brian Klaas uses his knowledge of the world's despotic regimes to shed light on authoritarian tendencies in contemporary America. A chilling reminder of the very real threats that the Trump administration poses to American democracy, and essential reading for those who want to do something about it."—Anne Applebaum, columnist for the Washington Post and Pulitzer Prize winner

"The Despot's Apprentice is morally righteous in the best sense of that word. Brian Klaas offers an erudite and persuasive plea to resist both budding and aspiring dictators, both in the United States and around the world."—Yascha Mounk, Harvard lecturer, Slate columnist, and author of The People vs Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is In Danger and How to Save It

"If you care about American values, our Constitution, democracy, freedom of the press, the rule of law, and the future of your children and the planet—read this book!"—Arthur I. Blaustein, chairman of the National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity under Jimmy Carter, board member of the National Endowment for the Humanities under Bill Clinton, author of Make a Difference, Democracy is Not a Spectator Sport, and The American Promise
