African Dictators. the Logic of Tyrany and Lesson from History

by Arthur A. Nwankwo

This socialist political writer examines from a historical perspective, the characteristics of African dictatorships, the structures of state terrorism, regime-violence, classic despotic outfits, and junta hegemony. He argues that in view of the global demands for change and transition to democratic governance, the power of despots and tyrants will be diminished.
