Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A RED "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES. In Men on Horseback, the Princeton University historian David A. Bell provides a dramatic new interpretation of modern politics, arguing that the history of democracy is inextricable from the history of charisma, its shadow self. Bell begins with the forgotten story of Corsica's Pasquale Paoli, whose exploits were renowned throughout the Atlantic world. Paoli would become a signal influence in both George Washington's America and Napoleon Bonaparte's France. In turn, Bonaparte would exalt Washington even as he fashioned an entirely different form of leadership. In the same period, Toussaint Louverture used his charismatic gifts to make French revolutionary ideals a reality for the formerly enslaved people of what would become Haiti, only to be betrayed by Napoleon himself. Simon Bolivar witnessed the coronation of Napoleon and later sought refuge in newly independent Haiti as he fought to liberate Latin America from Spanish rule. In tracing these stories and their interconnections, Bell weaves a spellbinding tale of power and its ability to mesmerize. Throughout, Bell tells the crucial but neglected story of how political leadership was reinvented for a revolutionary world eager to do without kings and queens. If leaders no longer ruled by divine right, what would underlie their authority? Military valor? The consent of the people? Their own godlike qualities? Bell subjects all struggled with this question, learning from one another's examples as they did so. They were men on horseback who sought to be men of the people -- as Bell shows, modern democracy, militarism, and the cult of the strongman all emerged together. Today, with democracy's appeal and durability under threat around the world, Bell's account of its dark twin is timely and revelatory. For all its dangers, charisma cannot be dispensed with. Ultimately, Bell offers a stirring injunction to reimagine it as an animating force for good in the politics of our time.THERE IS A RED "CLOSEOUT/REM AINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES.
