This study discusses how such dictators as Qaddafi, Khomeini, Marcos, Somoza, and Castro, among others, achieved power, how they justified their rule, and how they changed the character of the U.N
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Such names as Khomeiny, Qaddafi, and Castro are more widely known today than those of the leaders of vastly more powerful nations such as Japan or Germany and international news is dominated as much by these and other dictators as it is by superpower relations. This incisive book details the rise of one-party rule after 1945 and examines various dictatorial styles in the Third World. Rubin's cool analysis of these despots, their effect on the U.N., and the ambivalence the United States toward them is completed by a useful bibliography. This "behind the headlines" study is recommended for both academic and public libraries. Ian Wallace, Agriculture Canada Lib., Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec
