description: Through a masterly and cynical manipulation of ethnic nationalism and deep-rooted corruption Prime Minister Orbn has exploited successive electoral victories to build a closely knit and super-rich oligarchy. More than any other EU leader he wields undisputed power over his people.Orbns ambitions are far-reaching. Hailed by governments and far-right politicians as the champion 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 pose a formidable challenge to the survival of liberal democracy in a divided Europe.Mining exclusive documents and interviews celebrated journalist Paul Lendvai sketches the extraordinary rise of Orbn an erstwhile anti-communist rebel turned populist autocrat. His compelling portrait reveals a man with unfettered power.
