I bought this book for Linz is a theoretical authority in totalitarian and authoritarian regimes. I consider it a a valuable instrument in the study of political thought.

This book is indispensable for personal or political success. It is certainly not comparable to any other book and takes a few readings to get used to the profundity and style in order to work out the larger lesson and meaning of the whole.
However, when applied correctly, in proper coordination with The Handbook, this book will transform your world. As the Handbook promises, everything suddenly begins to look different after you start realizing the practical truth of Tyrannic-Kinesis and watch as your total mastery and sphere of influence begins to expand exponentially.
The Fifth Division of The Handbook helps you deal with the side-effects and hangover of this rush of your first "power-drunk" as you take on greater command of your life and your powers increase exponentially with every new success on the road toward total domination and self-mastery, but T.A.A.R. is essential for understanding the mechanics of how power can can inebriate and is good at illustrating the short section on how to use this tendency to your maximum advantage in Division Two.
Once you can accept the First and Last Axiom of The Handbook, that our own freedom, peace, and self-control can only be actualized by controlling others and then re-read the last chapter of TA.A.R. with "new E.Y.E.S." - as "The Hunter" of Power instead of "The Gatherer" of goods - everything else will begin to fall into place as you begin to become your own slave and see your true self finally step forth, free to seize and direct life (see the blue chart in appendix D of The Handbook).
If you are ready to own yourself and your life then start here and learn to get enter the "Dictator's Cockpit" and hijack your life by familiarizing yourself with the understanding and behavior of actua, real-life Authoritarians and Totalitarians who have already been there and lived the dream of total, immersive authority over your world - as laid out by Master Linz pearl by pearl of wisdom at a time like steroid shots for the mind (and soul).

This book is so completely disorganized and all over the place with its tangents that I can't stand it. The author references his other book "the handbook" and constantly says "we could discuss..., but we won't because I discussed it in the handbook" - about 5 full pages could be taken up with the amount of times he says this. Also, the book is very boring because of how poorly it is written.
NEVER read this! It is horrible!
