Welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Connor Boyle. We're looking back at some of our favourite books of the year in our 12 books of Christmas. Today's episode is with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Appelbaum. Appelbaum joined us alongside BBC broadcaster Johnny Diamond to discuss the themes of her latest book, Autocracy Inc., The Dictators Who Want to Run the World.
Let's go to the episode now. Thank you. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed and welcome to this fabulous venue. I'll just run through, if I could, the structure of the evening before we get going, and that is that Anne and I will chat for about an hour.
And then you and she will chat for about half an hour. We'll see how the timings go. Yeah. We'll see how the timings go. I should say Anne is convinced that if she and I talk for an hour, there'll be people sloping out the back.
