HOW DO WE END TYRANNY?



Tyrants seem invincible, but they face constant threats from all sides. Whether it’s by members of their inner circle, military elites, alienated masses, assassins, revolutionaries, or simply old age – they always fall. And when they do, they cannot retire: they face exile, prison or death. The aftermath can be catastrophic.



Meeting with improbable coup plotters, intelligence officers, rebel commanders and fugitive dissidents, Dr Marcel Dirsus draws on extraordinary interviews to unpick the vulnerabilities of the world’s strongmen.How Tyrants Fall is an essential guide to decapitating tyranny, and a warning of what happens if we do.
