Textul de pe ultima copertă

Tudoroiu uses the case studies of Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, and Fidel Castro to introduce the concept of the revolutionary totalitarian personality as an independent type. Using a combination of 'intentionalist' and 'functionalist' factors, the author explains the decisive role played by a leader's personality type in choosing a totalitarian trajectory and in shaping the totalitarian process. The book contrasts this under-studied category with the impact of structural constraints on the development of totalitarian regimes, which are indirect, limited, and distorted. In the second half of the book the author focusses on Venezuela's late President, Hugo Chávez, and considers present political and ideological developments in Latin America, and especially the Middle East, as likely sources of future totalitarian experiments decisively influenced by the revolutionary totalitarian personality of their leaders. A vital contribution to the existing literature, the book goes beyond the descriptive level to conceptualize this crucial aspect of totalitarianism.
