This book examines why many authoritarian regimes, posing as democracies through elections, do not become democracies in reality. The author accounts for the durability of dictatorships in Egypt and Malaysia, factionalism and abortive democratization of Iran, and the successful overthrow of Marcos's regime in the Philippines.
