Why read it?
1 author picked Stalin as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this three-book series because it is a cold, academic study of one of the world’s greatest psychopaths in action. Understanding how a psychopath would behave when in charge forms a large part of not only Diathesis but also Dissonace, the fourth book in my series, and this does exactly that.
It’s a difficult read emotionally, but that’s more than offset by the examination of how a psychopath, and one recognized as such and as being unfit for any position, manages to rise to the top.
From Ishmael's list on move from movie trope to reality.
