Rezension zu „The Dictator's Learning Curve “
"[The Dictator's Learning Curve] says something really fresh about the world we live in" -- Michael Burleigh Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year "Intelligent and absorbing" New York Times "He writes with exemplary clarity and a sharp eye for colour. Timely, authoritative and as readable as a novel, this is one of Autumn's most resonant books - not least because it ends on a note of guarded hope for the future" -- Jane Shilling Prospect "Dobson captures empathetically the skill and insight of modern neo-despots. Rare is the book on dictatorship that can end on an uplifting note that its narrative carefully substantiates" Financial Times "A thoughtful journey through formidable dictatorships of our time, where smart, authoritarian leaders have learned clever tricks to ensure that they do not become yesterday's men. Instead of offering caricatures of vintage dictators, Dobson observes the more dangerous trend - of dictators adopting the form of democratic governance" -- Salil Tripathi Independent
