In Demagogues in American Politics, Charles U. Zug offers a historical analysis of the role of demagoguery in the American political system. Challenging the conventional wisdom, he argues that demagoguery is not an inherently bad form of leadership. Through case studies drawn from the presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court, this book argues that demagogic leadership can be deployed by public officials to advance the aspirations of constitutional democracy.

A New York Times Book Review Editor's Pick What Happens to Democracy When a Demagogue Comes to Power? "It is hard to imagine understanding the Trump presidency and its significance without reading this book.” —Bob Bauer, Former Chief Counsel to President Barack Obama What—and who—is a demagogue? How did America’s Founders envision the presidency? What should a constitutional democracy look like—and how can it be fixed when it appears to be broken? Something is definitely wrong with Donald Trump’s presidency, but what exactly? The extraordinary negative reaction to Trump’s election—by conservative intellectuals, liberals, Democrats, and global leaders alike—goes beyond ordinary partisan and policy disagreements. It reflects genuine fear about the vitality of our constitutional system. The Founders, reaching back to classical precedents, feared that their experiment in mass self-government could produce a demagogue: a charismatic ruler who would gain and hold on to power by manipulating the public rather than by advancing the public good. President Trump, who has played to the mob and attacked institutions from the judiciary to the press, appears to embody these ideas. How can we move past his rhetoric and maintain faith in our great nation? In The Demagogue’s Playbook, acclaimed legal scholar Eric A. Posner offers a blueprint for how America can prevent the rise of another demagogue and protect the features of a democracy that help it thrive—and restore national greatness, for one and all. “Cuts through the hyperbole and hysteria that often distorts assessments of our republic, particularly at this time.” —Alan Taylor, winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for History

"The shortest way to ruin a country is to give power to demagogues," said the Greek historian, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in the year 20 BC. Today the United States of America has a world-class demagogue as its president. Donald J. Trump is the most successful, and most dangerous, demagogue in American history. He has dramatically changed how we see the role of government, the nature of our democratic institutions, and the place of the United States as a world leader. He has turned the history of the presidency up-side-down. In these essays, Dr. Ray Smock, former historian of the U.S. House of Representatives, combines the urgency of breaking news with critical historical analysis that reveals, in stark contrast, the dangers posed by a leader who cannot govern the nation because demagogues, by nature, rely on fear, lies, smears, scapegoating, and division to gain power and to hold it. While deeply concerned with how this president's demagoguery divides the American people into warring camps, the author sees hope in the tenets of the U.S. Constitution, the law, strong public and private institutions, a free press, and the rise of a new Congress, which can place constitutional checks on this runaway president. These essays are clarion calls for a return to more civil government with less partisanship. It is a strong defense of the free press as an important check on a president who regularly uses lies and deception to further his political agenda. This is the author's second book on the Trump Presidency. The first, published in 2018, was Trump Tsunami: A Historian's Diary of the Trump Campaign and His First Year in Office, also available on Amazon.

How do we understand the nature and diversity of populist politics, in developed and developing countries? Righteous Demagogues provides a novel approach grounded in democratic theory, inequality, and party competition. It argues that populists are successful when they evoke the moral contract--that states are obligated to redress certain types of inequality--and promise its restoration, in ways that resonate across the normal lines of social division and partisanship. These changes in political competition can spur confrontations with the opposition and state institutions, leading to populist rejection or authoritarian governance.

A demagogue is a tyrant who owes his initial rise to the democratic support of the masses. Huey Long, Hugo Chavez, and Moqtada al-Sadr are all clear examples of this dangerous byproduct of democracy. Demagogue takes a long view of the fight to defend democracy from within, from the brutal general Cleon in ancient Athens, the demagogues who plagued the bloody French Revolution, George W. Bush's naïve democratic experiment in Iraq, and beyond. This compelling narrative weaves stories about some of history's most fascinating figures, including Adolf Hitler, Senator Joe McCarthy, and General Douglas Macarthur, and explains how humanity's urge for liberty can give rise to dark forces that threaten that very freedom. To find the solution to democracy's demagogue problem, the book delves into the stories of four great thinkers who all personally struggled with democracy--Plato, Alexis de Tocqueville, Leo Strauss, and Hannah Arendt.

Demagoguery is the advocacy of what one knows is not true but what one believes others will accept for lack of full understanding. Sound familiar? Does the American government promise something for nothing knowing the average citizen does not fully comprehend the implications? Are you unhappy with the political and corporate leadership of this country? Do you feel you're unable to change the situation or at least protect yourself? Recognizing the problem is half the battle, and author Gerald Fickenscher identifies the problem as the government, not the people or the economy. Beware of Demagogues provides an insight into the venues by which American demagogues manipulate the public, such as public education, environmentalism, inflation, immigration, lotteries, and taxation. Learn how to protect yourself and the foundational principles of this nation from the demagogues we've elected by following Gerald's course of action before America ceases to be the beacon of freedom to the rest of the world.

Timeless comedies on resisting tyranny from one of history’s greatest comic playwrights. Against Demagogues presents Robert C. Bartlett's new translations of Aristophanes' most overtly political works, the Acharnians and the Knights. In these fantastically inventive, raucous, and raunchy comedies, the powerful politician Cleon proves to be democracy's greatest opponent. With unrivalled power, both plays make clear the dangers to which democracies are prone, especially the threats posed by external warfare, internal division, and class polarization. Combating the seductive allure of demagogues and the damage they cause, Against Demagogues disentangles Aristophanes' serious teachings from his many jokes and pratfalls, substantiating for modern readers his famous claim to "teach justice" while "making a comedy" of the city. The book features an interpretive essay for each play, expertly guiding readers through the most important plot points, explaining the significance of various characters, and shedding light on the meaning of the plays' often madcap episodes. Along with a contextualizing introduction, Bartlett offers extensive notes explaining the many political, literary, and religious references and allusions. Aristophanes' comedic skewering of the demagogue and his ruthless ambition—and of a community so ill-informed about the doings of its own government, so ready to believe in empty promises and idle flattery—cannot but resonate strongly with readers today around the world.

"Political communication expert Jennifer Mercieca shows how the Trump campaign expertly used the common rhetorical techniques of a demagogue, a word with two contradictory definitions-"a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power" or "a leader championing the cause of the common people in ancient times" (Merriam-Webster, 2019). These strategies, in conjunction with post-rhetorical public relations techniques, were meant to appeal to a segment of an already distrustful electorate"--
