'Enlightening and a good read' SPECTATOR



'Moving and perceptive' NEW STATESMAN


Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Ceausescu, Mengistu of Ethiopia and Duvalier of Haiti.


No dictator can rule through fear and violence alone. Naked power can be grabbed and held temporarily, but it never suffices in the long term. A tyrant who can compel his own people to acclaim him will last longer. The paradox of the modern dictator is that he must create the illusion of popular support. Throughout the twentieth century, hundreds of millions of people were condemned to enthusiasm, obliged to hail their leaders even as they were herded down the road to serfdom.


In How to Be a Dictator, Frank Dikutter returns to eight of the most chillingly effective personality cults of the twentieth century. From carefully choreographed parades to the deliberate cultivation of a shroud of mystery through iron censorship, these dictators ceaselessly worked on their own image and encouraged the population at large to glorify them. At a time when democracy is in retreat, are we seeing a revival of the same techniques among some of today's world leaders?


This timely study, told with great narrative verve, examines how a cult takes hold, grows, and sustains itself. It places the cult of personality where it belongs, at the very heart of tyranny.

My dog loves these
Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I think this is the 2nd or third I have ordered of this toy. My shepherd mix absolutely loves them. He is a power chewer and these last a few weeks. The shape is great too - he quickly learned how to hold on to it with his paws for maximum chewing efficiency.

Great Supplement for Sticks!
Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
This is a great choice for those with furiends that LOVE to chew on sticks. The only con is that once it gets to the curved loop, they have difficulty chewing the loop due to the size of it.

My Corgi Loves These
Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My dog loves to chew on these wooden toys. These are cheap to buy but that is because these wooden toys do not last long, and are not durable for heavy chewers. My dog enjoys gnawing on these for 30 minutes and after a few times, the wooden toy gets worn down with both ends starting to flake. I throw these out every week so he isn’t swallowing a bunch of wooden chips as he chews. However, I keep buying these because I think it’s still better than having him swallowing plastic bits from other plastic toys.
