In 2016 two surprising explosions of popular contempt for the existing order drove Britain into Brexit and paved the way for Trump’s presidency of the United States. On both sides of the Atlantic, proud regimes with global pretensions were levelled by justifiable revolts. But in the name of self-government, Brexit and Trump will intensify the authoritarian traditions of their outdated political systems. The Lure of Greatness is a blistering account of how and why this happened. The shadow of Iraq, the great financial crash, campaigns of poison and intrigue, the filleting of David Cameron with the cold fury of a Remain voter... these are just the start. At the book’s heart is the story of the institutional and constitutional implosion of the United Kingdom, the farce of ‘the sovereignty of parliament’, a passionate account of English nationalism and the absurdity of the ever-increasing and insidious influence of the Daily Mail. What emerges is a compelling summary of an EU in crisis, the fateful absence of a viable left alternative, the normality of immigration – all of which frame the reasons for the triumph of Leave. Anthony Barnett, co-founder of openDemocracy, applies a lifetime of observing, reporting and sedition in this searing analysis of the two great democratic disasters of our time.

"It is my cherished hope", says the author, "that what is here may in some subtle way lead others to spend many delightful hours with books." Responsive readers, young and old, of 'The Lure of the Book' will be stirred into doing just that. (Book jacket).

This book is an important contribution to the study of West European fascism in the inter-war years. Focusing on the organizational and ideological relations of the German Nazis and French and Dutch fascists, Dietrich Orlow analyzes the evolving attitudes and conflicts among the Nazis toward the West European extreme Right, along with the conflicting views which French and Dutch fascists had about the Third Reich in the years from 1933 onward.

Fully realize your gifts and become your greatest self with this “journey of personal transformation that leads to success beyond wildest dreams” (Janet Bray Attwood, New York Times–bestselling coauthor of The Passion Test). Stepping into Greatness is about understanding that you are created in the image of greatness, and that is enough. It is about looking deep inside at ourselves and realizing that a lot of the negative things we assume about ourselves just aren’t true. Accepting your greatness is about self-love, self-acceptance, self-realization, and ending the struggle and doubt with yourself. What we believe and perceive—whether good or bad—is the core of our inner power. Transformation comes from harnessing that power to work for us. It creates our reality, our vision, our purpose, and our ultimate success. To become the “master of your fate” you must take responsibility for your choices. Your life, your loves, your passion, your work—all of it can empower you in a way that inspires, encourages, and lets you rise to greater things. Success is just waiting to happen—and all you have to do is take that first step with “this great book full of common sense that, step-by-step, helps the reader into leadership” (Don Miguel Ruiz, MD, New York Times–bestselling author of The Four Agreements).
