Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present

This well researched book with some biting comments mixed in now and then is surely timely. The book covers ground to around June 2020 and includes Trump in the mix. This includes the changing nature of strongman (rich plutocrats using elections often the deal now), their techniques (violence, virility, corruption etc.) and how the core covered ended their reign. Plus, key things to use to address and prevent, including respect of good institutions, some form of justice and a general positive approach. Strongmen tend not to have empathy.
