"This book came recommended by Foreign Affairs in 2022. At the time, during the Biden era, it didn’t really capture my attention, but as we begin a Trump presidency (for the second time), I felt it was essential to dig deeper into the components of strongman leadership and this 21st century trend sweeping world politics. Rachman provides a compelling framework for talking about the modern day autocrat and walks readers through 13 well researched portraits of world leaders who exemplify the strongman." - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/elon-musk-appears-video-german-far-right-campaign-event-2025-01-25/
