Book to recommend: "Attack From Within" by Barbara McQuade
Just got this in both Kindle and audio forms within the last week. It's an excellent review of what authoritarions (aka Trump) do. About a year ago, I read Ruth Ben-Ghiat's "Strongmen." I like McQuade's book even better than I did Ben-Ghiat's (which McQuade quotes from).
I bought the Kindle version on sale (it's not on sale now), but if you buy the Kindle, you can get the audio for $7.49, which I did.
Anyway, it's a great read. I'm enjoying it a lot.

I respect Barbara McQuade and was aware of this book but had forgotten to order it. Your post was a great reminder to me.
I also respect Ruth Ben-Ghiat's expertise.
