Orban : Hungary's Strongman PDF
by Paul Lendvai
- Information
Description
A no-holds-barred biography of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has become a pivotal figure in European politics since 2010, this is the first English- language study of the erstwhile anti-communist rebel turned populist autocrat.
Through a masterly and cynical manipulation of ethnic nationalism, generating fear of migrants and deep-rooted corruption, Orban has exploited successive electoral victories to build a closely knit and super-rich oligarchy.
He holds unfettered power in Hungary and is regarded as the single most powerful leader within the European Union. Orban's ambitions are far-reaching. Hailed by governments and far-right politicians as a symbol of a new anti-Brussels nationalism, his ruthless crackdown on refugees, his open break with normative values and his undisguised admiration for Presidents Putin and Trump mean he poses a formidable challenge to Angela Merkel and the survival of liberal democracy in a divided Europe.
Drawing on access to exclusive documents and numerous interviews, celebrated veteran journalist Paul Lendvai paints a compelling portrait of the most successful and, arguably, most dangerous politician in Hungarian history.
