Purges: How Dictators Fight to Survive
"This book delves into one of the key tactics that autocrats deploy to maintain power: the removal of individuals from their inner circle. It draws on an original global dataset on civilian and military elite purges in dictatorships, as well as case studies of North Korea, South Korea, and Turkey, to examine the logic behind purges and their consequences"- Provided by publisher.
