### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating review of 20th century history
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2017*

The book starts with a simple statement which to me was only obvious after I had read it: concentrating power in a “strong leader” means allocating it arbitrarily to the leader’s personal assistants.Because no single human can cope with the increased volume of information and decisions - despite the myths these “strong leaders” like to perpetuate about themselves - the decisions get made by the close staff of these leaders.This leaves out the other people who should have led on these decisions, eg cabinet members who are of higher calibre and expertise and experience than the advisers.Furthermore, more discussion with more people gets better decisions. This is obvious with the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, Mao and Stalin as leaders who accumulated power. But the book is full of examples of other leaders to make the case.I wish history at schools was taught about these leaders and events, the 20th century is about more than Hitler but sadly that’s too often all children are taught about.I don’t know that the author’s case is conclusively proven - it’s hard to make this into a scientific argument. But it’s fascinating to read and - especially as the author dislikes Tony Blair greatly - to read it in light of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership style. A really enjoyable and thoughtful book.

    Hard work but a rewarding read
  

*by I***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2020*

Very complete work which is hard work but rewarding. An excellent breakdown on the various ways one can judge leadership. I would recommend it be read by anybody thinking about a political or business career.
