520    "The author of Easternization, an award-winning journalist,
       offers an intimate look at the rise of strongman leaders 
       around the globe, charting the most urgent political story
       of our era. We are in a new era: authoritarian leaders 
       have become a central feature of global politics. Since 
       2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in 
       capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, 
       Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh and Washington. These leaders are
       nationalists and social conservatives, with little 
       tolerance for minorities, dissent or the interests of 
       foreigners. At home, they claim to be standing up for 
       ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they 
       posture as the embodiments of their nations. And 
       everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of personality. 
       What's more, these leaders are not just operating in 
       authoritarian political systems but have begun to emerge 
       in the heartlands of liberal democracy. From Trump, Putin 
       and Bolsonaro to Erdogan, Xi and Modi, Gideon Rachman pays
       full attention to the strongman phenomenon around the 
       world and uncovers the complex and often surprising 
       interaction between these leaders. In the process, he 
       finds the common themes in our local nightmares and offers
       a bold new paradigm for understanding our world, and finds
       global coherence in the chaos of the new nationalism, 
       leadership cults and hostility to liberal democracy. While
       others have tried to understand the emergence of these new
       leaders individually, Age of the Strongman provides the 
       first truly global treatment of the new nationalism, 
       underpinned by an exceptional level of access to key 
       actors in this drama: Gideon Rachman has been in the same 
       room with most of these strongmen and reported from their 
       countries over a long journalistic career"--|cProvided by
