How Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt (2018)

This book compares President Trump to Erdowan of Turkey, Duderte of the Philipines and Chavez of Venezuela to make the point that our democracy is degrading.  There is nothing unique about the US that would prevent it from happening.  Although there is nothing surprising in this book it was helpful to see it laid out so convincingly and dispassionately.
