This book is for anybody who is interested in leaders and how they captivate others. It weaves together important events in the history of the 20th century and psychoanalytical concepts, in order to help us understand the mechanisms and psychical conflicts behind leadership and submission to leaders. In an example from our times, these phenomena can even lead to the extreme of suicidal fanaticism.?
