The Naked Dictator - The Dark Anatomy of Tyranny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231534142)

Every dictator makes his own Faustian bargain with the devil and sells his soul for power.

Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Putin and all other tyrants. But what kind of insatiable hunger drives tyrants to conquer their own countries by force or fraud? Why do they feel an irresistible desire to be masters of life and death? And what drives societies to allow themselves to be subjugated and exploited by a despot? How does it happen that, depravity, perversion, evil, and fear prevail in an entire country? How are these tyrants able to maintain and operate their dictatorial system? Why do propaganda and the cult of personality have such a resistless and mesmeric effect on societies? Why do people tolerate terror, corruption, poverty, and the madness of power? Why do dictators return again and again? Is dictatorship the cursed legacy of the universal history of humanity?

This book attempts to answer these questions and other riddles.
