Each chapter of this book focuses on a single angle of this story, covering all six cases by examining newspaper accounts, memoirs, and government reports.DemocracyHistory20th centuryIntellectualsPolitical activityHistory20th centuryElectronic books.DemocracyHistoryIntellectualsPolitical activityHistory321.809/041Kurzman Charles866952MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455166803321Democracy denied, 1905-19151935133UNINA
