«Os Grandes Ditadores da História» is the historical essay by Shelley Klein, published by Editorial Estampa in paperback (280 pages, in Portuguese).
The book surveys dictators from different eras and continents, from Herod and Genghis Khan to Stalin, Hitler, Pinochet, Saddam Hussein or Mugabe. It analyzes how ideological fanaticism or the psychopathy of power led to genocides, torture and censorship, and argues that remembering those names prevents history from repeating itself.
Published in May 2007, it falls within the History category.
For readers of political and twentieth-century history interested in the origin and functioning of dictatorships.
