Demagogues and authoritarians are flourishing in this modern age of
political myth. They exploit our fears and fantasies. Exposing the
fictions that these new rulers use to take and keep control has never
been more urgent – and people risk their careers, liberty or even their
lives to do so.
In this revealing and richly reported book, international correspondent
Michael Peel illuminates the surprising parallels between leaders,
movements and their supporters who have thrived using potent but
questionable stories. From Aung San Suu Kyi’s Myanmar to Rodrigo
Duterte’s bloody drugs crackdown in the Philippines, and from Britain’s
struggle over Brexit to Syria’s civil war, he probes the patterns in
narratives that too often serve the interests of the chosen few.
Above all, Peel shows the extraordinary and sometimes dangerous steps
courageous people take to challenge these fabulists – and the
treacherous paths they lead us down.
