Defending Democracy in the Age of Trump: A Call to Arms

In her new book, Defending Democracy in the Age of Trump, acclaimed historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat argues that the United States is facing a serious threat to its democratic institutions. Trump, she argues, is a dangerous demagogue who is undermining the rule of law, eroding civil liberties, and inciting violence.

Ben-Ghiat provides a detailed account of Trump's rise to power and his assault on democracy. She shows how Trump has used his position as president to attack the media, the judiciary, and the intelligence community. He has also enacted policies that have discriminated against minorities, immigrants, and women. Ben-Ghiat argues that Trump's actions are not simply the result of his personal flaws, but are part of a larger pattern of authoritarianism that is emerging around the world.
