Description
Strongmen: How They Rise, Why They Succeed, How They Fall
Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat examines the phenomenon of strongmen leaders who combine populist appeal with authoritarian policy, shaping their countries around them and creating cults of personality. She draws on analysis of various factors, including gender, corruption, and propaganda, to understand who these figures are and how they manipulate public opinion.
This book offers a fierce and perceptive history of strongmen, shedding light on the forces that drive their rise to power and the consequences of their actions. A vital step in understanding how to combat the threats to democracy and individual rights, Strongmen is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of power and politics.
