This contribution of Dr. Edward Dunbar comes at the right moment as authoritarian leaders are once again taking control of the political lives of several countries around the world. Dunbar describes how these leaders use violence to gain and hold power through creating a climate of mistrust, fear and social polarization. This book also examines how living under an authoritarian regime paves the way to a collective trauma. — Amalio Blanco, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid As a series editor of "The New Authoritarians" Ed Dunbar is taking the psychology of leadership and totalitarianism beyond the well-plumbed foundation laid by Weber, Arendt, Adorno and Company. His book serves both as a trenchant analysis of the present day challenge to individual and collective freedom and a graphic warning on its implications. — Neil Abercrombie, Former Governor State of Hawaii It is no surprise, but a welcome event, that Dr. Ed Dunbar, a leading hate crimes researcher, has written a sophisticated science-based account of authoritarian dictators, for hate of the “other” is inherent to the thinking of fascists and dictators and of their acolytes. This gem of a treatise can help us understand the millennia-long human tendency to rule over —and be ruled by — those who offer easy solutions to the complexities of society. — Gerald C.
