**AN ECONOMIST AND THE TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022** 'Essential and
definitive' CATHERINE BELTON, author of PUTIN'S PEOPLE We are in a
new era. From Trump, Putin and Bolsonaro to Erdogan, Xi and Modi,
self-styled strongmen have become a central feature of global
politics. At home, they claim to be standing up for ordinary people
against 'globalist' elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiment
of their nation. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of
personality. How and why did this new style of authoritarian
leadership arrive? How likely is it to lead the world into war and
economic collapse? And what liberal forces are in place, not only
to keep these strongmen in check but to reverse the trend? The Age
of the Strongman explores these essential questions and offers a
bold new portrait of our world. 'TIMELY, LASER-SHARP... A
MUST-READ' PETER FRANKOPAN 'FORCEFUL... A BOOK WHOSE SIGNIFICANCE
IS ENHANCED BY UNPREDICTABLE EVENTS' MISHA GLENNY 'WIDE-RANGING AND
ASTUTE' THE ECONOMIST
