Diktator werden: Populismus, Personenkult und die Wege zur Macht

Dikötter's exploration feels both detailed and nuanced. I'm curious what motivated him to delve into this aspect of leadership and power.

The book made me think about how some aspects of personality cults persist today. Are these patterns inevitable or preventable?

The selection of case studies seemed very deliberate. I wonder what criteria guided those choices and if others were considered.
