It is undeniable that the history of the world has experienced its fair share of power struggles among different governments, starting from civilizations in Ancient Egypt to present-day issues in the Middle East. Author Michael Schober discusses his personal perspective on world politics, and the history of power in human government, in his new book, The Accidental Free Society. An exploration of study into dictators and democracies, Michael seeks to show readers the repeat of history that has occurred in the seventy-five years between World War II and today. The pursuit of freedom among the people and the love of the dictator are concepts that Michael sees fueled the strength of the hereditary dictatorship from centuries ago and what has been furthering the growth of modern dictatorship. With totalitarianism still in existence and Khomeinism on the rise, Michael wants readers to question whether their treasured democracy will continue to survive.
