Book Description
What is it that makes dictators fear cartoonists? The answer is that they can't stand to be ridiculed. Cartoonists may not be able to topple tyrants or change the course of history, but they can lessen the climate of fear and bring courage to the victims of state bullying with their subversive drawings. In this book, you'll find dictators and wielders of power transformed into midgets, hotel porters, moustachioed horses, even a humble pear. Figures include: • Hitler • Stalin • Mussolini • Franco • Mao Zedong • Robert Mugabe Written by renowned cartoonist and commentator Tony Husband, this shrewd and funny pictorial history traces the fightback led by artists against tyranny and its figureheads.

Book Description
"If any group of human beings deserves to be brought down to earth with a bump, it's dictators. In public, they strut around demanding our admiration. In private, their poisonous goons are secretly rounding up victims. Dictators hate ridicule. That's because only laughter has the power to penetrate the high-security walls around them and hit them where it hurts. Luckily, cartoonists are brilliant at this. This dazzling collection of cartoons features the work of many of the greatest cartoonists of all time, including Arthur Szyk, Herb Block, Honoré Daumier, James Gillray, Will Dyson, E.H. Shepard, Illingworth, Edwin Marcus, Bernard Partridge, Ed Valtman, David Low, D.R. Fitzpatrick, David Levine and many others. This bunch are so good they never miss the target"--

Book Description
Few humans in history have been satirized as remorselessly as Adolf Hitler. It was easy to do. You could "Hitlerize" almost anything by adding a cow's lick hairstyle and a toothbrush mustache. While his own side, the Nazis, portrayed him as a demigod, the perfect leader, and father of the nation, his enemies took it in the other direction, drawing him as a knock-kneed simpleton, a butcher with bloodied hands, an evil ghoul spewed up by the Abyss, and even an egg that had cracked. Hitler in Cartoons is the illustrated biography of a megalomaniac and control freak. Starting with his rise in the 1920s and ending with his fall in 1945, this book gives you Hitler in the raw as seen through the eyes of some of the world's greatest cartoonists, including Herb Block, D. R. Fitzpatrick, Ding Darling, E. H. Shepard, Bernard Partridge, Leslie Illingworth, and many others. The brilliant images they produced will haunt you as well as make you laugh.

Book Description
Why our workplaces are authoritarian private governments—and why we can’t see it One in four American workers says their workplace is a “dictatorship.” Yet that number almost certainly would be higher if we recognized employers for what they are—private governments with sweeping authoritarian power over our lives. Many employers minutely regulate workers’ speech, clothing, and manners on the job, and employers often extend their authority to the off-duty lives of workers, who can be fired for their political speech, recreational activities, diet, and almost anything else employers care to govern. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers can enjoy real freedom.

Book Description
In order to truly understand the emergence, endurance, and legacy of autocracy, this volume of engaging essays explores how autocratic power is acquired, exercised, and transferred or abruptly ended through the careers and politics of influential figures in more than 20 countries and six regions. The book looks at both traditional "hard" dictators, such as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and more modern "soft" or populist autocrats, who are in the process of transforming once fully democratic countries into autocratic states, including Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, Narendra Modi in India, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary. The authors touch on a wide range of autocratic and dictatorial figures in the past and present, including present-day autocrats, such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, military leaders, and democratic leaders with authoritarian aspirations. They analyze the transition of selected autocrats from democratic or benign semi-democratic systems to harsher forms of autocracy, with either quite disastrous or more successful outcomes. An ideal reader for students and scholars, as well as the general public, interested in international affairs, leadership studies, contemporary history and politics, global studies, security studies, economics, psychology, and behavioral studies.

Book Description
In peacetime cartoonists are a diverse collection of individuals with their own styles and projects, but when the trumpets of war blow it is like unleashing the dogs of war. Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt and Mussolini were a gift for them and, as this collection shows, one they weren't about to turn down. This book shows that humour was one of the key weapons of war, with countries using cartoons to demoralise their opponents and maintain morale. Each country had its own style: the British liked understatement, showing people drinking cups of tea while bombs fell, whilst the Germans chose Churchill serving up a cocktail of blood, sweat and tears to an emaciated and sickly British lion. Showcasing the very best cartoons from Britain, the USA, Germany, Russia plus the work of all of WWII's greatest cartoonists, including Bill Mauldin, Fougasse, Emett, David Low and Graham Laidler (Pont), this book is guaranteed to make you laugh.

Book Description
'Brilliant' NEW STATESMAN, BOOKS OF THE YEAR '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 Dikötter 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.
