Here, he transcends the by now familiar debates about the democratic peace and the End of History. In this brilliant and highly original work, Gat shows not only why democracies triumphed over their authoritarian, fascist, and communist adversaries in the past century, but simultaneously calls attention to the democracies unique vulnerabilities. -- Robert J. Lieber, professor of government and international affairs, Georgetown University
