(Reviewed by Jeyran Main)
Kings, Conquerors, Psychopaths: From Alexander to Hitler to the Corporation provides us with a realistic look at how leaders and rulers brutally controlled us and how many of the same characteristics are displayed in the tyrants and corporations we have today. This non-fiction work provides us with a historical prospective on how money is now the controlling oppressor.
I particularly enjoyed this approach as I believe we live in a time and era that requires such a view. We need to learn from the past, and although things may have changed, similar questions can provide a different and more in-depth look. The author reminds us of the fragility of our liberty, and how many approve our haunting past and are willing to accept the threatening future.
If you are interested in politics and history, then this book will be your bible. The literature is written very well, and it is clear that the author has cared to make sure all facts have been researched and properly stated. I appreciate his insightful view and recommend this book to people willing to read with an open mind.
This book is a good wake-up call. I look forward to reading more from this author.
