Advocates for books that matter.
By Ruth Ben-Ghiat
“Ruth Ben-Ghiat…specializes in male menace.” — Jon Blitzer , The New Yorker
“Ruth Ben-Ghiat is an indispensable resource on authoritarianism, past and present. Everyone who cares about American democracy should read this book.”— Sarah Kendzior, author of Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America
“Simultaneously intimate and sweeping in scope, Strongmen brings us in close to dictators and would-be dictators across decades and continents. We are left with a disturbing look in the mirror. Throughout, Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s clear prose rings with a rhythm and cadence that today’s nonfiction too often lacks.’ — Sarah Chayes, author of On Corruption in America and Thieves of State
