Summary

Dismantling Tyranny: Transitioning Beyond Totalitarian Regimes is offers case studies of seven formerly communist-ruled countries and how they resolved the dismantling of their respective secret police organizations. Each country profiled had a unique experience: e.g., the Russian experience of cosmetic transformation; the Czech Republic model of political screening (de jure lustration) and Estonia's model of absolute screening (de facto lustration); and Nicaragua's complete replacement of one loyal totalitarian system with another.
