In How Tyrants Fall German political scientist Marcel Dirsus offers insights into the worlds and minds of dictators, the twisted systems that keep them on top, and the ways even the most ruthless despots can be toppled. He shares his insights from meeting with coup leaders, dissidents and soldiers; discusses the complex nature of strongman rule, and imagines what a roadmap to a world with fewer of them might be.
