Description
The study of dictatorship in the West has acquired an almost exotic dimension.
But authoritarian regimes remain a painful reality for billions of people worldwide who still live under them, their freedoms violated and their rights abused.
They are subject to arbitrary arrest, torture, corruption, ignorance, and injustice.
What is the nature of dictatorship? How does it take hold? In what conditions and circumstances is it permitted to thrive? And how do dictators retain power, even when reviled and mocked by those they govern?
In this deeply considered and at times provocative short work, Alaa Al Aswany tells us that, as with any disease, to understand the syndrome of dictatorship we must first consider the circumstances of its emergence, along with the symptoms and complications it causes in both the people and the dictator.
