The Demon in Democracy: Totalitarian Temptations in Free Societies

The Demon in Democracy: Totalitarian Temptations in Free Societies

  • 2016
  • ★★★★☆

Having lived under communism and liberal democracy in Poland, Legutko's uncommon perspective on both systems paints an uncomfortable picture of democracy in Europe and the United States.
