bob altemayer wrote a great book summarizing his work as an academic researcher studying authoritarianism, specifically the personality of authoritarian followers, those who are most happy to fall in line behind a 'strong' leader who will tell them what to believe and how to act, and persecute dissidents. if one wishes to understand our modern world, this subject is of primary importance. the writing is informal, engaging, and charming. the introduction and closing chapters are particularly strong.
