The Dictator’s Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics
What if power has less to do with ideology and more to do with cold, ruthless math? The Dictator’s Handbook dismantles the illusions of noble governance, revealing a chillingly pragmatic logic that guides both tyrants and democrats alike. In a world where survival hinges not on serving the people but on satisfying a select few, loyalty is currency and betrayal a tool of the trade. Witty, unflinching, and unsettlingly honest, this book invites readers to peer behind the curtain of leadership—and ask whether virtue ever truly rules. Do leaders shape systems, or do systems shape the leaders we get?
