Wicked Charisma

The book is the latest in the series "The Crazy One and His Runner-Up". It fills my particular interest in politics. This interest was provoked more by political madness than by political reason. This is because political reason is as reasonable as it is crazy. And it's crazy because it's charismatic!

In the book I have included eight lectures of two special courses: "Charismatic Leadership" and "Wicked Charisma". So it happened that the printing of the book would overtake in time the appearance of two other studies of mine that had to precede it. I apologize for some references and explanatory notes I could not avoid. With some hesitation I extracted from the text the eight analytical portraits of charismatic-political leaders I had originally included at the end as an application. I thought it would be better if they were in a separate book.
