From Mussolini to Saddam Hussein, dictators have shaped the world we live in. What drove their thirst for domination and control? How did they seize and wield power? What forces rose up against them or resisted them in secret? How did they finally come to the bitter end?

As different as these men were from each other, all of them followed a series of essential steps, from seizing power to eliminating enemies - the unwritten handbook of Dictators.

B' e fir borb a bh' annta aig an robh cumhachd gun chrìoch, a' cumail smachd gu teann air an t-sluagh. A' mùchadh easaonta, bha iad ag iarraidh làn-dhìlseachd, a' cur an nàimhdean dhan phrìosan neo gu bàs. Bha iad a' riaghladh tro neart an nàdair, ach bha iad air am buaireadh aig eagail dìomhair is iomagain. 'S e deachdairean a bh' annta – aintighearnan a thug buaidh air an 20mh linn agus a dh'fhàg comhar air ar linn fhìn.

Bho Mussolini gu Saddam Hussein, thug deachdairean buaidh air an t-saoghal sa bheil sinn beò. Dè a choisinn an sannt airson smachd is ughdarras? Ciamar a ghlac is a chleachd iad an cumhachd? Cò na feachdan a rinn dh'èirich nan aghaidh neo a rinn strì riutha gu dìomhair? Ciamar a choinnich iad an crìoch mu dheireadh thall?

Mar a bhios sinn a' cur eòlas air na riaghladairean as buirbe bho chionn ghoirid, leanaidh sinn mar a dh'èirich 's a thuit iad – is chì sinn gun do lean iad slighe a ghabh mòran romhpa. Ged a bha iad eadar-dhealaichte bho chèile, ghabh iad uile sreath de cheuman riatanach, bho bhith a' gabhail cumhachd gu bhith a' spadaidh nàimhdean – bhon leabhar neo-sgrìobhte, leabhar-làimhe nan Deachdaire. Iomraidhean air Kim Il-sung, Saddam Hussein, Benito Mussolini, Manuel Noriega, Francisco Franco is Idi Amin.
