NonFiction of the week 31 December 2023/1 January 2024

I have only one NF book on tap for this week, Twilight of Democracy by Pulitzer Prize winner, Anne Applebaum. ToD is about the threats to democracy from the recent rise of nationalism and authoritarianism in the West. Ms Applebaum knows a bit about the subject, given that she's a fellow at the Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins, where she specializes in the history of Soviet Russia's atrocities.

I'm reading it to see what she believes the prescriptions are to avert disaster.

So what Non-Fiction will everyone else be reading this week?

Essays by activists, lawyers, academics, maybe an artist.

Boring but worthy. Discovering hidden climate activism.
