獨裁者養成之路：八個暴君領袖的崛起與衰落，迷亂二十世紀的造神運動

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.
