Product Description

How did America end up with a leader who acts so crudely and despotically, and counter to our democratic principles? Why do his followers stick with him, even when he acts against their interests?

To fully understand, John Dean, a man with a history of standing up to autocratic presidents, joins with Bob Altemeyer, a psychology professor with a unique area of expertise: authoritarianism.

Together, using psychological diagnostic tools, as well as exclusive research and analysis from the Monmouth University Polling Institute—one of America's most respected public opinion research foundations—the authors provide us with an eye-opening understanding of the Trump phenomenon . . . and what we may be able to do to stop it.

Author Bio

John W. Dean served as White House counsel for President Richard Nixon from 1970 to 1973. During the Watergate scandal, his Congressional testimony helped lead to Nixon's resignation. Dean's books include the bestsellers Blind Ambition, The Nixon Defense, Worse Than Watergate, and Conservatives Without Conscience. Bob Altemeyer's research on the psychological makeup of authoritarian leaders and followers, and his development of the "RWA" (right-wing authoritarian) test, has established him as the recognized expert in the field. He is the author of The Authoritarians and Enemies of Freedom: Understanding Right-Wing Authoritarianism.
