Its one of the most important books anyone could read at the moment, when public institutions are slowly being corrupted wherever we look -- PHILIP PULLMANThis is essential -- MARGARET ATWOOD on TwitterThe burning topic of today: populism. Vivid, visionary, terrifyingly familiar, this book is essential reading for everyone on planet Earth -- ANDREW SEAN GREERHow to Lose a Country is a succinct and hard-hitting explainer on the rise of populism in Turkey and elsewhere, with a running refrain to western nations that consider themselves free from the threat of authoritarianism: this can happen to you * * Financial Times * *This book is a fierce mapping of the preceding stages of dissolution. It begins with the creation of populist movements. [ . . . ] The intensity of the call for political engagement and the fluency of expression make this an urgent read. Those looking for such steadfastness should begin here * * Irish Times * *Ece Temelkuran elegantly and wittily demolishes our most enduring and damaging political illusions. But she also cannily intuits and eloquently describes our deepest unmet needs for justice, peace and stability. Anyone rattled and disorientated by the political earthquakes of recent years ought to read her, and find solid ground again -- PANKAJ MISHRAWhen I left government, the first thing I read was How to Lose a Country and I couldnt put it down. If you look at America from the outside in, its much clearer than looking at it from the eye of the storm. To me, Eces book remains the best guide to understanding the blend of right-wing populism and strongman authoritarianism that has metastasized around the world. Thanks to Eces wise, accessible, personal and erudite book, I have been able to see much more clearly whats been happening to American democracy and to politics in so many countries around the world -- BEN RHODESThis is a keenly observed and passionately written book. Read it or be prepared to lose your country -- RABIH ALAMEDDINEA stunning, sane and intimate chronicle of a world gone nuts. An urgent whisper in our ears about our modern dictators and their collaborators -- MOHAMMED HANIF Details ISBN1837263078 Author Ece Temelkuran Pages 304 Publisher Canongate Books Edition Description Main - Canons Series Canons Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781837263073 Format Paperback Imprint Canongate Canons Place of Publication Edinburgh Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience Tertiary & Higher Education ISBN-10 1837263078 Subtitle The 7 Steps from Democracy to Fascism Publication Date 2025-01-07 UK Release Date 2024-10-10 Alternative 9781837263097 NZ Release Date 2025-01-07 DEWEY 320.5662 AU Release Date 2025-01-07 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
