Dear John,
In February, Freedom House released the 51st edition of its flagship report, Freedom in the World. Within its pages, we note how global freedom declined for the 18th consecutive year, driven largely by flawed elections and violent, often authoritarian-led conflict.
In the fifth edition of our ongoing series, we share five informative books that tackle the themes discussed in the report, from the plight of people living in disputed territories to election manipulation.
