Marcel Dirsus

Marcel Dirsus is a political scientist, author, and commentator who specialises in authoritarian regimes, political instability, and the dynamics of power. He has advised governments and organisations on political risk and is a sought-after analyst on global affairs. How Tyrants Fall examines the mechanisms by which authoritarian leaders lose power — through coups, revolutions, popular uprisings, and their own miscalculations. Dirsus draws on historical and contemporary examples to reveal the patterns that predict when and how dictatorships collapse, offering a framework for understanding one of the most consequential dynamics in global politics. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a timely, insightful analysis of authoritarian power and its vulnerabilities. Dirsus' work is essential reading for anyone interested in politics, history, and the question of how societies free themselves from tyranny.
