Something called "The Corner" by the same people who wrote "The Wire"
Not the best read; the author goes to great lengths to make us feel sympathy for the characters and in the process made the fucking book about twice as long as it should be
It's like Irvine Welch and Richard Dawkins fucked and the author of this was their bastard child

Re: What books are you reading?
Authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh and Washington.
These leaders are nationalists and social conservatives, with little tolerance for minorities, dissent or the interests of foreigners. At home, they claim to stand up for ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiments of their nations. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of personality. These leaders are not just operating in authoritarian political systems but have begun to emerge in the heartlands of liberal democracy.
