Krátky popis
One of the great historians of our age asks: how far can a single
leader alter the course of history?The modern era saw the emergence
of individuals who had command over a terrifying array of
instruments of control, persuasion and death. Whole societies were
re-shaped and wars fought, often with a merciless contempt for the
most basic norms. At the summit of these societies were leaders
whose personalities had somehow given them the ability to do
whatever they wished.Ian Kershaw's new book is a compelling, lucid
and challenging attempt to understand these rulers, whether
operating on the widest stage (Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) or
with a more national impact (Tito, Franco). What was it about these
leaders and the times they lived in that allowed them such
untrammelled and murderous power? And what brought that era to an
end? In a contrasting group of profiles, from Churchill to de
Gaulle, Adenauer to Gorbachev, and Thatcher to Kohl, Kershaw uses
his exceptional skills to think through how other, strikingly
different figures wielded power.
