How Democracies Perish
Book • 1984
In 'How Democracies Perish', Jean-François Revel examines the challenges faced by democratic societies, particularly in the context of the Cold War era.
He argues that democracies are often weakened by internal divisions and external pressures, such as those posed by communist states.
Revel critiques the naivety of Western democracies in dealing with these threats and emphasizes the need for vigilance to protect democratic values.
