'This is essential' Margaret Atwood on Twitter 'She's one of the
most acute and perceptive analysts of the furtive growth of
fascism. Everyone should know about this' Philip Pullman 'Vibrates
with outrage' The Times An urgent call to action from one of
Europe's most well-regarded political thinkers, and a field guide
to spotting the insidious patterns and mechanisms of the populist
wave sweeping the globe - before it's too late. 'It couldn't happen
here' Ece Temelkuran heard reasonable people in Britain say it the
night of the Brexit vote. She heard reasonable people in America
say it the night Trump's election was soundtracked by chants of
'Build that wall.' She heard reasonable people in Turkey say it as
Erdogan rigged elections, rebuilt the economy around cronyism, and
labelled his opposition as terrorists. How to Lose a Country is an
impassioned plea, a warning to the world that populism and
nationalism don't march fully-formed into government; they creep.
Award winning author and journalist Ece Temelkuran identifies the
early-warning signs of this phenomenon, sprouting up across the
world, in order to define a global pattern, and arm the reader with
the tools to root it out. Proposing alternative, global answers to
the pressing - and too often paralysing - political questions of
our time, Temelkuran explores the insidious idea of 'real people',
the infantilisation of language and debate, the way laughter can
prove a false friend, and the dangers of underestimating one's
opponent. She weaves memoir, history and clear-sighted argument
into an urgent and eloquent defence of democracy. No longer can the
reasonable comfort themselves with 'it couldn't happen here.' It is
happening. And soon it may be too late.
