About the Author:
Sean Connolly is the author of more than 75 books for children and young adults, on global issues, citizenship, history and cultural affairs.
From Booklist:
*Starred Review* The Systems of Government series provides an importance service: it explains the major types of governments in ways that are substantial yet don’t overwhelm. Dictatorship is an especially effective volume because it doesn’t concentrate on just the standard bearers—Hitler, Stalin, and so on—but rather adds breadth by discussing other strongmen, from Genghis Khan to African dictators. Along the way, Connolly offers information on how dictators stay in power without the support of their people and what happens when dictators fall. The series is impressively up-to-date—see the discussions on France’s ban on burkas and the Arab Spring (though Kim Jong Il is depicted as still alive). Most important, the series is deeply thoughtful and well designed, with plenty of excellent pictures and sidebars, and it stretches itself at every turn to suggest to readers what the future holds for various systems of government. Grades 5-8. --Ilene Cooper
