Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Autocracy is rarely an accident. It is an adaptive, systemic response to ruined economies, devastating civil wars, and deep geopolitical fractures. In A World History of Dictatorships, author Michael Haller delivers a sweeping, macro-historical analysis of fifty absolute rulers who shaped-and shattered-human civilization. Moving far beyond simple biographies, this groundbreaking work explores the environmental pressures, structural collapses, and geographical vulnerabilities that allow tyranny to take root. Spanning millennia of absolute rule, this book uncovers the recurring blueprints of control across five distinct eras: - - Antiquity & The Roman Foundations: From the brutal proscriptions of Lucius Sulla to the evolutionary tipping point of Julius Caesar.- - The Middle Ages & Early Modern Monarchs: The absolute authority of Genghis Khan, Wu Zetian, Vlad the Impaler, and Peter the Great.- - The Age of Revolutions: The radical iron fists of Maximilien Robespierre, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Shaka Zulu.- - The Interwar & Mid-20th Century: The ideological and military regimes of Vladimir Lenin, Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, and Augusto Pinochet.- - The Iconic Totalitarian States: The airtight, terrifying architectures of Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Kim Il Sung. Concluding with a chilling look at the 21st-century horizon-where structures of stone are replaced by unblinking, self-correcting algorithms of silicon-this book is more than a chronological narrative of tyranny. It is an essential diagnostic map for anyone seeking to understand the fragility of human liberty in the face of systemic crisis.
