Another book in the growing body of literature dedicated to examining demagoguery and how it interacts with, damages, and threatens democracy.
"Demagoguery is the reduction of politics to in-group versus out-group, with the assumption and claim that the in-group is always and forever and in every way better than the out-group."
If that doesn't make you think of contemporary politics, then I think you're just not paying attention. It applies to American, British, and other countries. An interesting and valuable book, one that is sure to make readers think. Hopefully, if it were to find its way into the hands of, for example, Trump and/or Brexit supporters, then maybe it'll help them reexamine what they support/believe. (Unfortunately, I can't see that happening.)
Recommended.
