Autocrats: Charisma, Power, And Their Lives
Seldom before in the history of the world has rage been so global in scale. Authoritarian leaders are largely to blame for this dangerous pass�their brutal surgery on masses without administering anaesthesia.<br> Sadly, we do not know enough about them and their chillingly effective ways. <br> <i>Autocrats: Charisma, Power, and Their Lives</i> fills that gap with real-life situations of how an authoritarian�s cult takes hold, grows, and sustains itself. It describes grippingly their personality, their psychological make-up, and their private lives. <br> The book sketches, step by step, the roadmap to tyranny from the earliest times to now, and poses questions that people are afraid to ask: <br> <i>Are autocrats born bad? Are their brains wired differently from ours? <br> What makes strongmen the evil they become? <br> Do they leave their country in a better or a worse shape?</i> <br> It is also a deep dive into all that is dishonourable in society; the unreal times when people are their walking images: weak, afraid, cowardly, and fearful. <br> This compelling account uncovers the inner demons of strongmen, their anxieties, and their phobias. <br> Intensely researched, Rajiv Dogra�s prose is elegant and sophisticated, making this book a magnificent cathedral of words. <br> <i>Autocrats: Charisma, Power, and Their</i> Lives is going to haunt us for a long time.
