History Hack: Big Caesars and Little Caesars
Description
Ferdinand Mount joins us to talk about his new book "Big Caesars and Little Caesars", all about the Big Caesars who set out to achieve total social control and Little Caesars who merely want to run an agreeable kleptocracy without opposition: from Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell through Napoleon and Bolivar, to Mussolini, Salazar, De Gaulle and Trump.
