From Library Journal:
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
