Some context [feel free to skip]: I'm Iranian. I see an opposition crisis in my Iran's politics. While majority of people are anti current regime, there is no popular figure or party that most people would be comfortable getting behind and the fractions within the opposition majority are very polarized.
What I'm looking for: A book about how dictatorships crush oppositions by not allowing there to be any viable options/alternatives. How opposition leaders are eliminated and what can people or opposition groups do to counter that.
It can be a political science book about the general mechanisms or just history books about one such instance. Or anything similar to that.
Thanks in advance. 🙂
