Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In 2017, as Ben Rhodes assisted former President Barack Obama in transitioning to a new chapter, the legacy they built was under threat. Seeking to comprehend the turmoil in his country, Rhodes looked globally. Over three years, he traveled to numerous countries, engaging with politicians, dissidents, and activists facing the same forces that led to the Trump presidency: nationalism, authoritarianism, and disinformation. His journey included encounters with former Mossad operatives and the Chinese government, as well as meetings with Hong Kong protesters and Russian opposition figures. He discovered individuals worldwide grappling with their identities amid the crude nationalism of their leaders while devising strategies to resist. This work blends memoir and reporting, offering a vital exploration of the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, which eroded public trust in America, globalization, and democracy, paving the way for strongman leaders like Viktor Orban, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping. Rhodes contemplates how the desire for identity and belonging has been exploited by nationalists and learns from a diverse array of figures—from Obama to rebels and emerging politicians—about crafting a more hopeful narrative for the future.
