Produktinformationen zu „Before Evil (ePub)“

Should we humanize the world's most inhumane leaders?

Adolf Hitler. Joseph Stalin. Benito Mussolini. Mao Zedong. Kim Il Sung. Vladimir Lenin. These cruel dictators wrote their names on the pages of history in the blood of countless innocent victims. Yet they themselves were once young people searching for their place in the world, dealing with challenges many of us faceparental authority, education, romance, lossand doing so in ways that might be uncomfortably familiar.

Historian Brandon K. Gauthier has created a fascinating workepic yet intimate, well-researched but immensely readable, clear-eyed and empatheticlooking at the lives of these six dictators, with a focus on their youths. We watch Lenin's older brother executed at the hands of the Tsar's policean event that helped radicalize this overachieving high-schooler. We observe Stalin grappling with the death of his young, beautiful wife. We see Hitler's mother mourning the loss of three young childrenand determined that her first son to survive infancy would find his place in the world.

The purpose isn't to excuse or simply explain these horrible men, but rather to treat them with the empathy they themselves too often lacked. We may prefer to hold such lives at arm's length so as to demonize them at will, but this book reminds us that these monstrous rulers were also human beingsand perhaps more relatable than we'd like.

Autoren-Porträt von Brandon K. Gauthier

Brandon K. Gauthier completed his doctorate in Modern History at Fordham University in New York City in 2016. He is the Director of Global Education at The Derryfield School and an Adjunct Professor of History for Fordham University. He speaks passionately, and loudly. He frequently asks his students to yell WHO CARES? and then tell him why he's wrong about everything. When not teaching and writing, he listens to music at loud volumes and walks long distances. Historical conundrums keep him up at night. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Concord, New Hampshire. Before Evil is his first book.
