Back to the overview of the series
"Diktatoren des 20. Jahrhunderts"
The 20th century is full of contradictions – war and peace, mass violence and human rights, democracy and dictatorship.
This series on the dictators of the 20th century, edited by Thomas Schlemmer, Andreas Wirsching, and Hans Woller, provides a face to the dark side of this “age of extremes”, retelling the biographies of the most infamous dictators in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.
