Dictatorship is a form of government in which an individual or a small group wields power without legal or constitutional constraints. Dictators come in many varieties. Some are military officers who overthrow an elected government. Others are democratically elected politicians who, once in office, decide to discard democracy. Some dictators use power to transform society. Others expressly try to prevent social or political change. Still others don't appear to be motivated by any ideology, whether liberal or conservative. Instead, they use power simply to enrich themselves or bolster their egos. This book examines the diverse forms of dictatorship. It is filled with interesting and instructive case histories.

The books in this series will focus on the major types of government found in the world today. They will explain, in terms that are clear and understandable to young adults, not only how the major forms of government function but also their philosophical underpinnings. The books will illustrate how ideas about good governance have evolved over the course of history.
