Rezensionen

"Convinced that Trump and Trumpism represent the greatest threat to American liberal democracy in a lifetime that has witnessed the dismantling of (formal) apartheid in South Africa, and the alarming, global, and on-going spike in authoritarian populism, Abel offers comprehensive and detailed accounts of how Trump abused power when he had it, and how Trump used autocratic techniques to hold on to power when he was at risk of losing the presidency through the electoral process."
