sribbleinc's review against another edition
4.0
Captivating stories serve as great examples for the concepts Klaas wants to communicate. The history of power, the science of power on/and people, and strategies to encourage the right people into power are all thoroughly examined and would serve as a great guide for individuals, communities, and societies to foster justice instead of corruption.

This book contains a great deal of useful and very important information on how power corrupts, on how it attracts the corruptible, and how and why people are poor judges of integrity in leaders, and I wish I'd liked it better than I did. However, I found the author's voice to be tedious—like the narrator of a TV documentary, constantly having to rope the audience back in with "provocative" questions he's about to answer. IMO, it would have been a much stronger book with the fluff cut out.
