Review Quotes: "Josh Cohen's finger-on-the-pulse insights are second to none - sharp, nuanced, many-layered, whether he's examining the rage of the underdog or the cynicism of populist leaders. In his hands you feel you've never better understood the working of the human mind in all its wondrous and ugly dimensions. I gulped this book down"--Marina Benjamin, author of Insomnia
