German Book Premiere
How are dictators maintaining their grip on power in the 21st century? Current autocracies garner staying power from their networks and alliances. This year’s Peace Prize laureate of the German Book Trade, Anne Applebaum, reveals in »The Axis of Autocrats« how autocratically governed states—such as Russia, Belarus, China, Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia—mutually reinforce and support each other. This look behind the scenes exposes how insidiously and efficiently corruption, control, and propaganda ensure security and impunity in the world’s dictatorships.
With Anne Applebaum
Moderated by Katja Gloger. German reading by Maren Eggert.
»The Axis of Autocrats« was translated from English into German by Jürgen Neubauer.
