Opis

A convincing indictment of the most powerful political figure in the eastern EU ... This is gloves-off political writing at its best.' -- The Financial Times on Hungary (2012)

A no-holds-barred biography of Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán. As populism threatens the survival of liberal democracy in Europe, it is a useful exercise to consider Orbán's ruthless crackdown on refugees and his open break with normative values. Celebrated journalist Paul Lendvai draws on access to exclusive documents and penetrating interviews.

Recenzje

'Lendvai's excellent book is a lively account of how one very smart politician has changed the weather in his own country. It is also an invaluable guide to what has happened over the past years elsewhere in the erstwhile Eastern bloc, while the rest of Europe has barely been noticing.' The Sunday Times
