rising. Democracies are faltering. How does tyranny end?Tyrants
project invincibility, but all of them fall.This is because they
face critical weaknesses that can form a fatal trap. Whether it's
their inner circle turning against them or resentment of elites in
the military, the masses alienated by cronyism or revolutionaries
plotting in exile, tyrants always have more enemies than friends.
And when they fall tyrants don't quietly retire - they face exile,
prison or death.What happens in the aftermath can change the fate
of a nation. Meeting with coup leaders, dissidents and soldiers,
political scientist Marcel Dirsus draws on extraordinary interviews
to examine the workings and malfunctions of tyrants. We hear from a
revolutionary (codename 'Satan') who risked Stasi capture to
undermine an oppressive regime, an unapologetic former leader of a
Burundian rebel group which carried out a massacre, and an
American-Gambian activist who plotted to liberate his homeland on
breaks during his construction job.But understanding dictators
isn't enough. How Tyrants Fall is the gripping, deeply researched
blueprint for how to bring them down.
