NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A call to reform our antiquated political institutions before it's too latefrom the authors of How Democracies Die "[Levitsky and Ziblatt] write with terrifying clarity about how the forces of the right have co-opted the enshrined rules to exert their tyranny."The Washington Post ONE OF THE CALIFORNIA REVIEW OF BOOKS' TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NEWSWEEK BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it?

They draw on a wealth of examplesfrom 1930s France to present-day Thailandto explain why and how political parties turn against democracy.
