Summary: "Frank Diköter returns to eight of the most chillingly effective personality cults of the twentieth century. From carefully choreographed parades to the cultuvation of a shroud of mystery through iron censorship, he examines the way in which these dictators ceaselessly worked at their own image and encouraged the masses to glorify them. For no dictator can rule through fear and violence alone; a tyrant who can compel his people to acclaim him will last longer."-Back cover
