The problem is that today’s authoritarians are not like the frozen-in-time, ready-to-crack regime of North Korea. They are ever-morphing, technologically savvy, and have replaced more brutal forms of intimidation with subtle coercion. But as dictators have become more nimble, so have the inspiring people who oppose their rule.The Dictator’s Learning Curve explains this historic moment and offers hope for the future of freedom.’Says something really fresh about the world we live in’ Sunday Telegraph’Timely, authoritative and as readable as a novel’ Prospect
