From America’s leading scholar of democracy,a personal, passionate call to action
against the rising authoritarianism that challenges our world order - and the very
value of liberty

Larry Diamond has made it his life's work to secure democracy's future by
understanding its past and by advising dissidents fighting autocracy around the world.
Deeply attuned to the cycles of democratic expansion and decay that determine the
fates of nations, he watched with mounting unease as illiberal rulers rose in Hungary,
Poland, Turkey, the Philippines, and beyond, while China and Russia grew increasingly
bold and bullying. Then, with Trump's election at home, the global retreat from
freedom spread from democracy's margins to its heart.

Ill Winds' core argument is stark: the defense and advancement of democratic ideals
relies on US global leadership. If we do not reclaim our traditional place as the
keystone of democracy, today's authoritarian swell could become a tsunami, providing
an opening for Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and their admirers to turn the 21st century
into a dark time of despotism.

We are at a hinge in history, between a new era of tyranny and an age of democratic
renewal. Free governments can defend their values; free citizens can exercise their
rights. We can make the internet safe for liberal democracy, exploit the soft,
kleptocratic underbelly of dictatorships, and revive America's degraded democracy.
Ill Winds offers concrete, deeply informed suggestions to fight polarization, reduce
the influence of money in politics, and make every vote count.

In 2019, freedom's last line of defense still remains "We the people."

“A leading scholar of democracy combines his academic research with his direct
experience to piece together a wide-ranging study of the creation - and possible
destruction - of that specific form of governance.... A potent mix of theory and
practice...inspiring.”
(Kirkus)

“From a scholar who has dedicated his life to studying liberal democracy comes a plan
for its long-term preservation. ‘Ill winds’ are indeed blowing - and Diamond has shown
us how to weather and, ultimately, beat back the storm.”
(Madeleine K. Albright, former Secretary of State and author of Fascism: A Warning)
