Here is a book that takes up where Max Weber left off in his study of charisma and extends the theory with insights from other disciplines and new empirical data. Douglas Madsen and Peter Snow demonstrate that magnetic personalities must have willing followers, finding support for their argument in the rise of Juan Per n and the Peronistas in Argentina.
I have read dozens of books on political behavior, and have been disenchanted by most of them. This however was not the case with The Charismatic Bond. The story of Juan Peron itself is magnificent, but Madsen and Snow seem to help us understand the story of the people that made Peron legendary, as well as, circumstances that surrounded his rise and subsequent fall. Despite all of this you still must have a taste for politics to enjoy this book.
