Product Description Dictatorship in the Modern World was first published in 1935. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.The wisdom of the ages turned on the problem of the hour, says Charles A. Beard of this thoughtful and thought-provoking volume. Fourteen scholars, American and European, under the guidance of the president of a great university (himself a distinguished historian) have cooperated to provide a cool and dispassionate survey such as only the historical approach can give. Here is a world view, a balanced presentation, covering more aspects of the problem of dictatorship than have been brought together in any other single volume. About the Author Guy Stanton Ford served as Dean of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota for 25 years before he was appointed as the sixth president of the University in 1938, a position he held until 1941. He is the editor of Dictatorship in the Modern World (Minnesota, 1935).
