The authority on Authoritarians, and witty!

Perfect for understanding the people responsible for the slide into authoritarian politics in the late 2010s US politics. Bob Altemeyer is the originator of the RWA scale test for authoritarians. His personal delivery in reading his book, is engaging, personable and occasionally funny as hell. The book effectively distills psychological research into authoritarian followers and delivers it in a format ordinary listeners will find informative and engaging.
