Explore the twisted psyche of bad rulers in this insightful book by a renowned Shakespeare scholar. Delve into the lust for power and catastrophic consequences of executing it, as illuminated through memorable plays like Richard III, Macbeth, and Lear. Discover how Shakespeare's fascination with societies in crisis, rampant lies, and demagogues with unquenchable narcissistic appetites still ring true today.
